Hi all
Well ya ... We are again here with a possibility ... A possibilty which involve numbers ...... Numbers which involve both calculation and identification .....
We call this numbers IP numbers .... IP stands for Internet Protocol ...
Internet Protocol refers to the network layer of the open-system protocol ....the open system protocol need not be the OSI model here ..... As we know the routing of packets is maintained by this layer ...... IP performs the connectionless flexibilty to the network ...... Remember IP is a part of the Internet protocol suite .... An IP number is away of IP addressing .... A 32 Bit logic address means an IPv4 number .... A 128 bit logic address is known as IPv6 number ... the reason that they are being defined by their addressing capability is becoz of the reason they have been made .... they were made to provide a unque id to all the users ... not just for ur identification .. but also for ur recognition ... that means the server never knows anything more about you other than your IP number when its dealing with you ....(dont argue about the headers a browser send ... ) ......

Now lets try and know two those things about IP numbers .. especially IPv6 ......which are hard to google.....
1) IPv4 is base 256 addressing system ... the four octets are converted to their corresponding number to decimal value ........ this is to have a count of number of connections they have .... however when the large number of people started subscribing the idea of subnetting was introduced and they forgot bout the count... now they r worried about a new thing .. the problem of routing through so many ips and still able to maintan security ..... and consistency with various servers ...
2) well this one i would like u to google .. how to telnet to a ipv6 number .. interesting right .. when u will try this on ur own without knowing or searching it may ..work or it may not .. thats the part of the hint ;) ... well i will give the method embedded in my upcoming posts in the my abilities section ... till then .. hold tite and keep waiting :)

bye for now ,
