Thus spake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
BTW, this business of birthday paradox clashes has been beaten
on wrt to other random address assignment paradigms too; in
particular, CGAs. There, you have ~60 (?) bits for uniqueness
but it has still been implied that any non-zero probability
of collision is too great.
In practical terms, zero probability is not to be found in this
universe. People who demand zero probability for anything need
to be educated. 2^-40 probability is as close as you're going
to get. Really!
More importantly, the odds of human or technical error that causes a
collision at a theoretical ULA-C registry is far, far higher than 2^-40.
The only difference is that if there's a registry, the end-users have
someone to sue when a collision happens.
