Of all the small pleasures in life, I like 'nitpicking' best

"Arnaud Ebalard pointed out that RH0 support allows attackers to amplify denial-of-service attacks on IPv6 infrastructure by a factor of at least 80"

"In rough terms, it makes everything we thought was bad, a thousand times worse," Paul Vixie, president of the Internet Systems Consortium, said.

"it can also be used to amplify a denial-of-service attack by a factor of 10"

So which is it 80, 1000 or 10 times as bad as IPv4?
