Beijing 2008 Olympics--Peoples Daily Online: Aug 11, 4:12am 1 review internet, ipv6-olympics
http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90781/90877/6469265.html; FTA - "It is also the first time light-compression high-definition (HD) video transmission technology has been used. Netcom is employing long-distance non-compressed methods to deliver original HD TV signal without any loss globally. The result is TV viewers can watch events almost as instantaneously as visitors on the spot, solving the problem of delay in TV transmission.

As well, IPv6-based video monitoring will be used for the first time to offer real-time viewing 24 hours a day, seven days a week end-to-end at Olympic venues and the Olympic Command Center. The technology was awarded first prize in 2007 for Chinese communications science and technology.

As well, the media at Olympics venues will for the first time be offered broadband access and high-speed Internet services using an IC card with no limit on flow."

LinuxPlanet - Tutorials - Networking 101: Subnets Realized (Including IPv6) - AR…: Aug 7, 11:30am 1 review internet, ipv6
http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/6510/1/; Well, no ... FTA - "On the topic of confusing netmasks, IPv6 addresses certainly have a place. The netmask isn't really an issue--the same concept applies, just with larger numbers to remember. The real problem lies within the address representation itself; the IETF seemed to take pride in creating confusion. Typically an IPv6 address is represented in hex, or base-16. Our old friend IPv4 could represent an IP address in hex too, which would look like B.B.B.B for the address 11.11.11.11. Unfortunately, IPv6 isn't quite that nice looking. To represent 128 bits, IPv6 normally breaks up the address into eight 16-bit segments.

An IPv6 address looks like: 2013:4567:0000:CDEF:0000:0000:00AD:0000. It does get a bit easier. For example, leading zeros are not written, and contiguous quads of zeros get collapsed to ::. Trailing zeros, however, must be shown. This is a bit confusing, but the rules always allow for a non-ambiguous IP address. Leading zeros in each quad can always be removed, but the collapsing of contiguous blocks of zeros can only happen once per address. The above address with collapsed zeros will look like: 2013:4567:0000:CDEF::AD:0000. IPv6 provides 2^128 addresses, more than enough to allocate roughly 1000+ IP addresses per square meter of Earth."
