81313 2002-09-20 08:09:00 Imagine what can be done with that kind of glut of IP addresses?

Lets not just provide an IP for the computers but how about one for the printer, the oven, the outside lites, industrial pocesses, the garage door, the airconditioner, the burgler alarm . . . . . shall i go on?

Hackers could have fun guessing the IP of the neighbours shutters, and opening and shutting electric doors with poor security on the network . . .
IPv6 has LOTS of potentual!

Now thats planning for the future.
