Re: A good read and a question

I think it's a great idea... But with things like that, and the fact
they are now reassigning "defunct" blocks of addresses tells me that
much of the world hates change. :)

Personally, I would have simply added 3 bits at the beginning of IPv4
for a "continent-based" allocation... Much simpler than Ipv6. But
nobody asked my opinion! (and back in 1995 when the IPv6 specs were
being done, I wouldn't have known nearly enough to have that opinion!)
