   @netopwibby So believe it or not, #IPv6 is so amazingly vast that a /64 is something of a standard unit of allocation. So, with #Yggdrasil, you could simply run Yggdrasil on every machine on your network. But what if some of them don't run it for some reason? Well then, you can hand them out IPs under your /64 using any of the existing schemes for doing so. Your Yggdrasil node can then be the gateway to the broader #Yggdrasil network. 1/

     @jgoerzen I read your article about Yggdrasil and I only kinda get it.

     > Each node gets an entire /64

     I researched what that was an uh, several quintillion addresses from a single node sounds insane (my expertise is front-end and some back-end web tech, that's it).

     Can you build on Yggdrasil? Like, an MMO? Or just a whole 'nother internet layer?

     I'm trying to make sense of how I could possible use it.
