Why 4,294,967,296 is special

It sounds like a lot and was not: allocation of the last unreserved blocks completed in 2011, and the shortage is the whole reason IPv6 exists. The same number is the addressable memory ceiling of a 32-bit machine, which is why 32-bit systems could not use more than four gibibytes of RAM.
