128 bit internet naming instead of the standard 32 bit naming we have today. Basically the 111.111... gets alot more numbers. so you have alot more domains available. Apparently we are running out of domains.

now sure why you would have to make any changes to an oracle implementation for IPv6? It should be handleed at the OS and network layers? Received on Thu Oct 23 2003 - 06:20:14 CDT
