Hi Randy, The first time they had 256 addresses (8 bits) right? That's where the original /8 assignments in IPv4 came from, the folks listed back in RFC 758 who had an IP address before IPv4. IPv4 jumped from 8 bits to 32 bits. Which when you think about it is the same ratio as jumping from 32 bits to 128 bits. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
