[AusNOG] /20 Available

[Lloyd Wood]

> IPv6 addresses are assigned to organizations in much larger blocks as compared to IPv4 address assignments—the recommended allocation is a /48 block which contains 280addresses, being 248 or about 2.8×1014 times larger than the entire IPv4 address space of 232 addresses and about 7.2×1016 times larger than the /8 blocks of IPv4 addresses, which are the largest allocations of IPv4 addresses. The total pool, however, is sufficient for the foreseeable future, because there are 2128 or about 3.4×1038 (340 trillion trillion trillion) unique IPv6 addresses.

I'm pretty sure they were saying something similar when they were first handing out Class A's.
