You're missing the point. The original message proposed the rather sad,
small-visioned and faintly absurd idea of stealing some of the port bits
in the IP packet to extend the address size. That was "supported" by the
statement that it was not anticipated that broadband consumers would
need many addresses. The above is my response. If you build a world with
low ceilings, don't expect to see anyone invent flying machines.

Regards, K.
