So how do you know it's 4 million and not 4.1?

We know that 125k works today (I'm being a bit conservative because
in IPv6 the addresses are longer) so the storage requirements should
sort themselves out according to Moore in 7 x 1.5 years, so that
would work in 2013. Processing scales non-linearly, though.
