I think you went over a lot of heads with this. I use to have my boot disk back in the day, to ensure my games worked.

It is a insane number of addresses but they thought that with ipv4... But this really does seem a lot more insane!

I want normal ovens to have IP addresses

wow it took a long time.
We still gonna see IPv4 for a decade or more around (heavy implemented)

Ive taken 2 classes of IPv6 a Mandate one (more into the policies n stuff) and a more technical one and....
really lol get your CCNA before they update that thing

Is not that is that more complex, is just that there is so much more, more features, more info, more capabilities... more studying
