The number of possible IPv6 addresses read out loud

The guys over at Pingdom have had been thinking how to read out loud the amount of possible IPV6 address, theoretically it’s 2^128 IP addresses.

As you’re probably aware of, that’s a huge number:

2^128 = 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456

Have you ever wondered how you would actually SAY that number if you had to read it out loud? A cool thing with Wolfram Alpha is that it will spell out numbers
for you, making it possible for us to find this out without too much of a headache. Here’s the text version of the number:

340 undecillion, 282 decillion, 366 nonillion, 920 octillion, 938 septillion, 463 sextillion, 463 quintillion, 374 quadrillion, 607 trillion, 431 billion, 768 million, 211 thousand and 456
