[ppml] [GLOBAL-V6] How to get a IPv6 /32 the cheap way: go to AFRINIC

Precisely. Any entity with a free will is entitled to a part of IPv6 space free of
charge. And yes we will need enough addresses pointing to every cell in a human
body.

Wether current policies and architecture support it and if such space will be used
any time soon is another question under discussion, e.g. RAM, etc.

Thanks,
Peter
