Yeah, that extra 16 bits is a game changer. The whole v6 debacle wouldn’t have happened if v4 was 48 bits.
It’s funny, there is an interview with Vint Cerf where he mentions the choice of 32 bit address space for ipv4 was essentially pulled out of a hat and it could just as easily have been 48/64/24.
