Now this is going to sound a bit like explaining the tax code but I hope you’ll bear with me because there are a couple of parts here I think are interesting. They both explained that MAC addresses as we are used to seeing them, are 48 bits, not 64 bits. This is conveniently the length of a MAC address. In IPv6, the host part is always 64bits long. Seriously,Īnyway, they were both commenting on this statement: As always though, Bart is weird in that he actually likes to be corrected. One of the rules of this episode was that Bart only had a few days to learn the background himself so it was expected there might be errors. After the show aired, Kevin Jones DM’d me on Twitter and DJ made a comment on the blog, both with the same correction. In last week’s Chit Chat Across the Pond, I asked Bart to come during his off season to explain IPv6 to us.
