Dear Dmitry,
As I understand:
IPv4 /24 is (Total IPv4)/(2^24) IPv6 /24 is (Total IPv6)/(2^24)
Or not ?
Yes, you are right, but this is not what Michael was saying. What you prove above is that a /24 in IPv6 is a much larger address space than a /24 in IPv4, which is correct (and obvious to most people, as this is the very reason for introducing IPv6 in the first place). Michael said: "an IPv6 /24 and an IPv4 /24 use up the same percentage of the total address space", which is true. This percentage is 1/2^24 x 100. Best regards, Janos
