I was actually wrong. I can 'play' with not 2 but 4 groups of the IP6
allocation. Golly, what can I do with 64 x 64 x 64 x 64 address
combinations? Hire then out? Have a different IP6 address for every
hour of the year? Put the IP4 address in the last 4 groups?
(2001::10.2.2.191)
That vast surplus of IP6 addresses is just for one server - I have
several.
