Versus ipv6. Of course there’s so much space in v6 that it isn’t an issue except it’s such a pain to work with for people who tend to think in ipv4 octets and bit masks
IPv6 is also built like that and IP4 never was globally (except the country/region part), but it could be continued to be that router in the building, that device that network card in the device and even give separate IPs per service and serve them all on the same port.
