Re: in IT for 27 years
The "I can't remember it because hex" is simply bogus. The address space is far, far bigger and that's the whole damn point.
Here's three options for 128 bits. Which is easiest?
2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
2001:db8::8a2e:370:7334
32.01.13.184.0.0.0.0.0.0.138.46.3.112.115.52
There are other possible human encodings, but at the end of the day 128bits is a long number in any representation. Most humans aren't going to remember that no matter what you do.
