That the internet will run out of ip addresses in the next 10 years lol

Any comments?

This is a touchy situation

the highest a number can be in a number is 254

You think about it...
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx thats not a lot of ip addresses O.o; with my server, i have two entire ranges... :P and i use around 10 of em lol

(yes, i have it registered with arin or whatever that place is...)

Comments? lol

I think in 10 years IP addresses will be as outdates and unsecure as DOS 10 years ago. In my opinion, 70.56.91.52 would be something like 10011101100110101001110100100100101 pretty soon (10 years?)

You understand how long and how much money it would take to convert?

It wouldnt be millions it'd be billions. The price of internet would rise.

he meant IPv4. And its true. but we have IPv6 lines up ready to take over. Only reason it hasnt is because we are still not at the full capacity of IPv4 yet.

v6 used hex instead of binary.

IPv4 = 2^32 = 4.294.967.296 addresses
IPv6 = 2^128 = 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607, 431,768,211,456 addresses

 

[axilant]

True, but then another 10 years, that will be out of date lol

Make that 20 years, and we gotta make internet on Pluto :bah:

 

[AsclepiusZ]

If each person on earth used trillions of IP addresses each with IPv6 we still would be nowhere close to filling it.

Dont worry we will all be living on mars by then :hehe:

Lol... that would suck. If you're on Mars and wanted to browse namepros (which is on Earth), the radio lag would be around 40 minutes I think 8)
That, of course, unless all domainers will have earned enough to go and live on Mars (:lol: )

 

[ThreeD]

Dont worry we will all be living on mars by then :hehe:

in 10 years from now? We haven't even been there yet..

Thinking in the same directlion, can anyone think of a bigger invention that can replace the internet?

If each person on earth used trillions of IP addresses each with IPv6 we still would be nowhere close to filling it.

And even after that, we could invent IPv7, IPv8, IPv9, etc. Trust in the human brain

Don't worry about 10 years from now. Don't you know the world already came to and in 2000 with the Y2K bug?

“A number” can infinite. a number in a v4 dotted quad can generally be between 0-255, with a few exceptions.

Thank God people realise this years ago and have already begun to adopt a new standard that is n:n:n:n:n:n:n:n Where N is a number between 0000-FFFF, or 0-65535 in human numbers. Or roughly 340282366920938463463374607431768211456, less a few million for reserved addresses, broadcast addresses, etc.

This is enough to assign “billions and billions” of IP addresses to every person alive, or who ever has lived for that matter. Personally I can see a distant future where there are 10-20 billion people, and each need a few hundred IP addresses which are tied to every single electronic gadget they use, ie their personal transporter, replicator, and holo-emiters would each have one. And that takes up a tiny fraction of 1% of the ipv6 name space. No, we will not run out 10 years from now, or 20 years from now.

he is correct yes. the ip address version we use at the moment is ip version 4, it has a maxim of 4,294,967,296 addresses

this is why they are introducing ipv6, this supports a stupid ammount

time travel

 

[matrics]

Im going to claim all of the IPs. :kickass:

Race ya to it... BTW, according to the rules, you need to justify your IP needs, you need to say what you need them for.

 

[martialtiger]

that's too far ahead for me to even contemplate... but thnx for the random thought.

 

[axilant]

Im going to claim all of the IPs. :kickass:

So basicly... 1 ip address is $1/m?

I didnt know you were richer than bill gates

 

[Mike_Wiseman]

lol, i dont think we have to worry about this... Or do we :o

 

[axilant]

lol, i dont think we have to worry about this... Or do we :o

Imo, the switch will take more than what the "experts" think... i bet it will raise the cost of internet connection.
