God damnit, and I'm studying Cisco and TCP/IP for IPv4
In 2 years I'll have to redo my entire exam.

If we run out of IPs...

Quick El Presidente! Enact the Gay Marriage edict to slim the population growth!
IPv6 is all we need.

wait, it actually does that in tropico?
IPv6...

this. they barely glazed IPv6 in the course i took.

Lots of people would lose business interests if that happened.
I will now continue to unplug and replug my router

No, you'll still need to know about IPv4, before you can learn IPv6
CCNA :haw:
they've known we are going to run out eventually for a while now

number 1 problem with computer related majors. everything you know will be outdated in 2 years.
I honestly do not understand.
I always thought I was fairly au fait with computers, but I still can't quite grasp how an IP address works. What is it made of? Is it hard coded into routers? I just don't understand.

it's the identity on the network for anything supporting TCP/IP
kinda like house addresses.
The problem is that in the early days of the internet, everyone was grabbing huge chunks of IP addresses thinking we'd never run out.
People seem to just wait for something to fuck up before they try and stop it these days. Nobody revises at school, then complain when they fail. People don't bother installing smoke alarms, then wonder why their houses burn down. People in general are becoming lazy and ignorant, and the chances of us actually changing to the new system before we run out are pretty damn low.
This issue is so old that its actually covered in my ancient as hell CCNA Discovery book. IPv6 is considered THE solution while subnetting, vlsm, and NAT keep enough address spaces available until IPv6 is put into effect.
The fix to this already exists, and it's called IPv6.
Why is everyone freaking out?
[QUOTE=Orkel;22200870]you never know what happens in the future[/QUOTE]
That many people is inconceivable, and even then, by the time we get enough space to hold so many people (planets and shit) we'd be past IP's and shit.
I didn't think this would appear as news that quick. I was talking about this topic about a couple of months ago, thought it would take about a year to hit the news.
We are running out of internet, everyone start downloading a backup copy.
We should make more letters and numbers.
I want one to look like a bazooka blowing up a bad man.
oh fuck oh fuck we're gonna be IPless

It's basically 4 whole number integers separated by 3 dots. smallest possible number being 0, largest being 255.
255 being 0xFF. (so in hex, largest possible IP is FF.FF.FF.FF)
And each of the numbers can be unique.
Example 255.245.01.27.
So each number has 256 possible digits (including 0) which allows for 4 294 967 296 combinations of IPs.
Basically we have enough combinations for everyone to have their own unique IPv4 address, but in a short period of time, we will run out and so some people will be "IP-less"
Which is why we have to go to IPv6, which allows for way more possible IPs.

Whenever you connect to the internet, if you have a static IP, your ISP gives you a temporary IP, if you have a static one, your IP is constant no matter what you do.

That's how I understand it.

What do you hope to achieve by that?
[QUOTE=Van-man;22200826]Hurry up and switch to IPv6 already.[/QUOTE]
half the routers won't accept it and further more there are alot of bugs to work out on it

they only are valid for 3 years anyways, also
IPv4 = lans
IPv6 = public
well for the foreseeable future
You'd be running v6 on the LAN as well.
The problem is that ISPs and such are lazy, instead of a gradual adoption of IPv6 over a decade or more, we've got a rush job coming up and there will be problems (which a gradual roll out would avoid)
[QUOTE=Jacam12SUX;22199849]It's already solved, providers and businesses just need to implement the new IPv6 system.[/QUOTE]
I think it has to be noted that IPv6 was defined in 1998. It's "new" for 12 years.
Media are just dumb fucks.

My relative has a class C subnet (255 addresses) and he is barely using it :dance:
