    It should have been decillion, yes, but at ths scale/context it doesn’t make much of a difference.

    44::/16 = 5,192,296,858,534,828,000,000,000,000,000,000 to be exact.

  It would be nice to have a dedicated block of IPv6 addresses for ham radio, but why a /16? That’s 4 billion /48 networks.
