The internet is running out of room?
Its already happening.
Vint Cerf, the father of internet comes up with the new improved version of the internet IPV6 today, june 6, 2012, with the start from major websites and Internet service and equipment providers.
Why do we need IPV6?
- like a phone uses its phone number to connect to other phone numbers, every internet-connected computers uses a number known as "IP address" which connects it to the global online network.
- the problem was that current IPV4 was limited to 4 billion ip addresses, not nearly enough for world population. we are talking here about all electronic devices that are online which shares their addresses like phones, TVs, watches, computers and so on.
- And so there will be limited ip spaces and everyone will need to share.
- Here is the graph of IPV4, IPV6 comparison today.
- So, we have a solution that is IPV6, which is more than enough for 340 trillion trillion trillion addresses over the world.
- You do not need to do anything to prepare for this.
- It's started..
