Did somebody once say something like that about Class C addresses?
The number of /24s in all of IPv4 would only cover 70 yards of a football

see the vast difference in the comparison.
Of course--I was asking about the metaphorical message implying "More
than we can imagine ever needing".
I remember a day when 18 was the largest number of computers that would
ever be needed.
