- With ipv6, every square unit earch is covered by ?? million ipv6 address if evenly distributed around the globe.
- What if we start conquering galaxies?
- ...(poker face)
This is why we need IPv7, with a 2048-bit address space that also serves as a device's public key.
NAT duh...

As mentioned in another thread, it's already impacting security for certs that expire after 19 Jan 2038.
I expect the biggest panic to hit CIOs in a wave starting in 2033, when some of them finally get around to auditing systems. Biggest worries will be for manufacturing systems that still have a 32-bit field... someone will have to shut down production to update those guys, and you know how firms *hate* to shut down prod...

OK, new joke... a former database admin quits IT and gets a job as a lumberjack. On the first day, he cuts down trees in an O-shaped pattern. Second day, goes to a different forest, cuts trees in an O-shaped pattern. Third day, another site, another big O.
Manager asks the former database guy what's going on. Database guy says,
CIRCULAR LOGGING!

should report to moderator as it is too funny :)
^ Then you might like my follow-up...
Fourth day, the former DBA goes to where he plans to cut trees, but he cancels cutting his big ring there. Manager asks why, and the former DBA says, "There's a tree whose branches go right across where I want to cut."
"So? Just cut that tree, too!"
"No, I can't."
"Why not?"
"Because SPANNING-TREE PREVENTS LOOPS!"
