(Yes, IPv5 is 'ST' which is why we got IPv6 now ;) Next to that CERNET2 is running fully on IPv6, that one from the IETF ;) See http://genkai.info/2003-1031/IPv6-development-in-China.ppt Thus I wonder which 'journalist' wrote this one up ;) It's July 2nd, not April 1st or is this correct on the chinese calender? :) "So far, China is the only country in the world that has consolidated domain names, IP addresses and MAC addresses into ten-digit text files." You gotta love that one. Also... 10 digits, hmm http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ch.html 8<---------- Population: 1,298,847,624 (July 2004 est) ---------->8 They really are not talking about a protocol for the internet or whatever else. With 10 digits they can't even give a single IP to every person _currently_ in China.... Funny journalism, but no cigar... Greets, Jeroen Attachment:
