The next version of the Internet begins rolling out today.

Here's an excerpt:

Vint Cerf, Chief Internet Evangelist at Google, and a founding father of the Internet, discusses the next version of the Internet, IPv6, and why we need it.


Why is the internet running out of room?

Just as phones use a system of phone numbers in order to place calls, every Internet-connected device gets a unique number known as an "IP address" that connects it to the global online network.

Just in case you haven't read it.

Thanks for the article, I found the following FAQ on the IPv6 helpful below:

Many major websites and Internet Service Providers now support IPv6, but there are still many more who need to switch. If you'd like to use IPv6, contact your Internet Service Provider asking them to provide you with IPv6 Internet access. You may also need to enable IPv6 on your home router or upgrade to a home router that supports IPv6. For a list of home router manufacturers that support IPv6, start here.

Vint, yeah, the one that predicted that the internet addresses will run out in 2011...

The IPv4 pool is in fact depleted.
The RIRs won't get more IP space to allocate. Time to buy your block :talk:

With 340 undecillion addresses available (128-bit vs 32) the NRO
won't need to worry about resource depletion in the near or long term future~ :hehe:

Thank you Eric, very interesting.

Yesterday Google, Facebook, Yahoo and Bing all permanently enabled IPv6 on their main pages. Also, many major ISPs, home networking equipment manufacturers and major web companies around the world followed suit.

Dr. Cerf had predicted the internet would run out of unique IPs based on the 32bit IPv4 system by 2010 and was proven off a few months when the web finally did run out in February of 2011.

This might be old news but Akamai the world's largest content delivery network, which carries somewhere between 20 to 30% of of all internet web traffic has been working for nearly 2 years to upgrade its 95,000 servers in 71 countries to support IPv6.

Dude, is this just me, or you sound a lot like markov chain (automatically generated bable)?

Actually no. Not markov chain. It's xrumer synonym generator of the last paragraph of the post before that. Yes that's what it sounds like.

That can nevertheless fool many that have no knowledge of it. Hmm....
