BC> I've been hearing now for 2 years about the 128 bit IP addressing system and how 
important it is.  Why are we still using 32 bit IP addresses if we need the 128 bit 
ones?
BC> And if we do finally go this route, will the 128 bit IP addresses simply absorb 
the 32 bit addresses?

Well... as with multicast, not every router allows IPv6 at this time.
What is being done now is to form the so-called 6-Bone (the same idea as
m-Bone) to join IPv6 capable networks while the necesary technology is
deployed to all routers.
