Hello,
I requested an extra IPv6 address, but Linode said they cannot assign just one IPv6 address, so they assigned me a range:
FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF::/64
I replaced the real numbers with F's, but that's how they showed me. That'd mean that I'm now assigned every IP address between:
FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:0000:0000:0000:0000 all the way up to
FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF
Is that correct or am I misunderstanding this? That can't be right though, can it? From what I can tell, that'd be 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IPv6 addresses. That's an insanely large amount of addresses. Can someone please help me figure out how many addresses they actually assigned me?
Thank you.
