Hi Matthew, Couple of follow-up questions on this: * do you need the exact same number of bits in both implementations? If we support 21 bits of data in IPv6 and 24 in IPv4 is that an issue compared to supporting 21 bits just in both for compatibility. * related to this - how much data are you looking to store in the tables?
