In the next 2 years or less, the Internet world is going to be running out of Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses. IP is a combination of unique numbers that helps to identify all internet networked devices throughout the world.
IP address generally use a combination of four sets of numbers from 0 to 255 to distinguish one computer to another computer. Currently, there are listed more than four billion combinations of numbers to IP addresses. Big News Networks, said the rapid growth of Internet networking tool will create a combination of four numbers will no longer sufficient to create an IP address. This is what will be a problem in the future.
Researchers from the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre in Australia’s Geoff Huston gave a description that is almost the same IP address with a phone number, where we must enter the correct number to find the intended connection. As more and more phone users, required the addition of one digit number for a phone number. But not so with an IP address.
The consequences of this problem, in the future there will be many people who can no longer see anything on the internet. It is estimated that this will happen within approximately in the next 2 years or less. If that happens, then there would be no new device that can connect to the internet, which means the internet will stop growing. Fortunately, the IPv6 technology, ‘Resurrection’ Internet it will not happen.
IPv6 is a new numbering system that replaces the four-digit combination system currently used. For Internet users in general, a change from current systems to IPv6 will not be felt.
