I'd even go out of my way and say that undecillion of IP addresses ought to be enough for anybody.

Bold prediction! Let's see if it holds true in 200 years when every cybernetic cell in your body is individually addressable from the public internet.

This is almost IPv9 (RFC1606)! https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1606

   The up to 42 deep hierarchy of routing levels built into IPv9 must
   have been one of the key features for its wide deployment. [...]
   As yet, no requirement has been found for levels 40-42, with level 39
   still being used for experimental interrogation of atomic structure
   of components where required.
Of course, it's a 1st April RFC. For those who don't know them, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools'_Day_Request_for_C...: they include thinks like terminals with subliminal messages, IP over pigeons...

98% of all IPv6 addresses will be set aside for self-replicating nanobots and our bodily cells will have to fight over only the remaining 2%.
