ipv4 it's a *little bit* too small (only approx 4.000.000.000 hosts... )

ipv6, 128 bit, approx
1.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 hosts
1.000.000.000.000 <- this is a trillion

It'n only my opinion, or ipv6 is a little bit *expensive* and *wasteful*?

Everything in computer is logical... there's a logical in it too?

Efficiency has a cost. Sometimes it's better to take a bit of
inefficiency rather than pay the cost of efficiency. For example, with
128-bits, a computer needs to know only its network and its MAC
address to generate a unique address.
