Gr8 tut bro, but hey your calling the BC octets Nibbles, A nibble is 0 or a 2 bit sequence its like saying pair, Not to confuse the beginners its really call BCD Binary Coded Decimal, BCD is a standard of digital devices from the IEEE containing four bit places.

I thought it was 4 bits. Here is what Wikipedia has as well:

In computing, a nibble (often nybble or even nyble to simulate the spelling of byte) is a four-bit aggregation,[1] or half an octet.

Thanks for your recommendation.

Thanks! Cool opening graphics and good info. You may want to include the "overlappingnessness" of multicast addresses as well .
