Subject: [Hampshire] [Slightly OT] IPv6 non-technical description?
I'm looking for a non-technical description of IPv6: has anyone come
across one (or do I have to write one)?

By "non-technical", I mean that the target audience would be business
managers rather than technical staff. Almost every reference I've found so
far uses phrases such as "RFC" or "network layer protocol" or "2^128".

Best I've found so far is
http://www.ipv6.com/articles/general/ipv6-the-next-generation-internet.htm
(but all the example phrases above come from that page). The introduction
on the Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipv6) is also pretty
good, but still has phrases such as "The last top level (/8) block of free
IPv4 addresses...". The target audience I have in mind won't understand
CIDR block notation.

Grateful for any pointers -
Keith
