Internet Armageddon: Internet to be out of IP addresses within weeks - Polidicks

welp, looks like my makeshift bomb shelter finally has a use

What about us with Static IP's, it won't affect me? Since well, nobody can "Steal" my IP.

I look forward to the side of IPv6 that allows every device even behind a LAN to have it's own internet IP. Port forwarding would no longer be needed...

Besides you'd still need to pay your ISP for additional Internet IP addresses

Noone takes away my dynamic IP without a fight!

Good thing I bought a few thousand ip's back in 1999. See ya in hell suckers!

Good luck memorizing that.[/QUOTE] [quote=Wikipedia] The 128-bit IPv6 address can be abbreviated with the following rules: [list]Rule one: Leading zeroes within a 16-bit value may be omitted. For example, the address fe80:0000:0000:0000:0202:b3ff:fe1e:8329 may be written as fe80:0:0:0:202:b3ff:fe1e:8329 [*]Rule two: A single occurrence of consecutive groups of zeroes within an address may be replaced by a double colon. For example, fe80:0:0:0:202:b3ff:fe1e:8329 becomes fe80::202:b3ff:fe1e:8329[/list][/quote] So that would become 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334 Also, static IP! :woop:

I figured it out guys We're only using up to 255.255.255.255! So let's just use the rest of the numbers! Hahaha you're all so dumb not to think of this earlier

[QUOTE=MIPS;27558366]How many of those IP's are currently disused/hoarded?[/QUOTE] There are blocks reserved for military and government use that wont be allocated for public use if I remember correctly

imma unplug and reconnect my router 1 million times gon use up the last of the internet, bitches. (dynamic ip troll ) [editline]21st January 2011[/editline] thread needs more "we are out of ips" "shut down Everything."

For users that use dynamic IP's, the IP has already been assigned to the ISP, it's just up to the ISP to assign it to a user.

[QUOTE=CommanderPT;27561999]What about us with Static IP's, it won't affect me? Since well, nobody can "Steal" my IP.[/QUOTE] The real issue is nothing to do with "you" if it comes to it ISP's have many tricks they can do if they can no longer give people IPs. The real issue is the fact that any new site on the internet (which only has an IPv6 IP) will be inaccessible to people who's ISPs / hardware do not support IPv6. Which obviously is not an issue at the moment as there's very few IPv6 only sites out there, but it will become an issue towards the end of this year it se ems.

[QUOTE=Van-man;27559575]depends on the platform. On modern computers, it's purely software thats the limitation. On embedded devices, it's most likely both.[/QUOTE] cool i can get a new computer :dance:

Why don't we just invent more numbers? That way we can have more IP addresses. :downs:

So, will we go on an all out change to IPv6 soon? Or will people with v4 will stay v4?

Static IP master race represent. :smug:

Can't we just create a high-bandwidth 'safe area' kind of server behind one master Domain name and have internal IPs within that? Or would firmware not work with that kind of connection? I mean, you know how websites have / areas like /threads/1051668-THREAD TITLE, can't we do that for crucial networking? It would be useless for mass transfer or even just streaming because of the huge bandwidth needed to hold these people, but the internet CANNOT withstand problems like this, the very fabric of civilisation in the west might become unstuck if people start being unable to get a 'slot' in the internet because of Dynamic IP's. I'm thinking mad chavs who can't get onto social networks/pornhub but, more importantly, workers and businesspeople whose technicians or themselves have stupidly set their business or workstation to a dynamic IP.

goddamnit i have dynamic ip :saddowns:

[QUOTE=XplodingNoggin;27564270]goddamnit i have dynamic ip :saddowns:[/QUOTE] Makes no difference, this does not really effect end users (yet).

This is now you buy a $2 VPS with a class-B IP range :mmmsmug:

ooh fuck maybe I better make my IP static cripes

Yay for having a static IPv4 address and a /48 IPv6 range (1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 possible addresses). We should have been migrating years ago, but everybody knows that upgrading hardware and software costs money, and as such is something that's barely ever done.
