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

So uh... what's actually going to happen? :ohdear:

[QUOTE=Tools;27584655]Made me think of how much of a bitch it is going to be in games. "Hey, join my CSS server" "Sure, what's the IP?" "2001:838:2:1::30:67" Memorizing it is gonna be a bitch. :frown:[/QUOTE] I always found it to be a bitch to memorize. Just copy and paste usually.

[QUOTE=Reel Hit Slim;27608544][B]Gentlemen, it is time we use fractions.[/B] 154.254¼.15.145¾[/QUOTE] Do you realize you just used four more decimal digits and also the fraction symbols themselves to describe the fractions? This is information which has to be stored somewhere. And this extra room doesn't exist within the IPv4 address header.

Well, I dare say we've hit [B]peak IPv4[/B]. Lets start drilling boys.

So wait, how do I know if I have an IPv6?

[quote]Your DNS server (possibly ran by your ISP) appears to have no access to the IPv6 internet, or is not configured to use it. This may in the future restrict your ability to reach IPv6-only sites.[/quote] GREAT There is only one ISP in France that is prepared to IPv6. Good thing I'll be switching to them soon.

this isn't that bad, it just really prompts a change, i don't understand why everyone is like "omg interbutts doomsday" it's fucking retarded isps are going to go ISP wide NAT, just like they have been doing in russia for years if they haven't picked up on the ipv6 bandwagon yet. here is is actually costing more to implement it rather than sit behind NAT because none of the isps have the infrastructure ready. what they could do is release the hoarding of massses of address by tech giants like HP and IBM, they own a fuckload of unused address space the addresses aren't necessarily used, just allocated it might even prompt some kind of money driven race for the last of the ipv4 allocations i'd also like to add that I dont think many people in this thread understand networking because i seem to be swimming in a pool of ignorance

I wonder if the change will have any notable effect on speeds - since more memory needs to be allocated to destination and source addresses. Switching over the whole world in a short period of time could have interesting effects.

He was right... The internet was just a series of tubes...

According to Wikipedia IPv6 has about 2 to the 128'th power addresses or 340 undecillion, 282 decillion, 366 nonillion, 920 octillion, 938 septillion, 463 sextillion, 463 quintillion, 374 quadrillion, 607 trillion, 431 billion, 768 million, 211 thousand and 456 possible addresses. Probably very late in posting this.

Give this a read - (taken from here - [url]http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Longhorn/ipv6.htm[/url]) [quote]IPv6 will be faster in several ways. Physically, because IPv6 does not fragment the packets as IPv4 does. Logically, because IPv6 will be hierarchical, thus internet routers won't need such large routing tables. In addition, IPv6 headers have been redesigned to speed their path through a router and to create true 'end to end' capability, the result is more efficient network traffic on the internet backbone[/quote]

Oh Goody! I'm completely ready for IPv6 but my fucking ISP isn't, DO SOMETHING YOU FUCKING SHITHOLE!

can't they add letters to the IP addresses like this 000.00A.0D0.00E ?

[QUOTE=superm0ney;27621954]can't they add letters to the IP addresses like this 000.00A.0D0.00E ?[/QUOTE] no. go learn how networking works.

So at this point are we officially out of (IANA) IPv4 addresses? [url]http://www.ipv4depletion.com/?page_id=147[/url]

Oh no? Okay, I guess. That sucks

I'm not even speculating seriously here - I don't claim to be the authority in predicting long-term changes in human population. Perhaps we replace blood with something even more finer, for example, or perhaps we enslave a few alien races, or perhaps something out of the realm of possibility happens (we turn into energy beings? An example is self-defeating anyway). [i]I can't even get close to predicting it which says a lot about the seriousness of my claim.[/i] My ISP isn't planning to go wide-scale NAT (they've already gone dual stack on the experimental ADSL2 network) but planning to assist customers through, which is pretty cool... if they would give a timeframe.

I'll wait until there's total desperation for IP adresses and sell mine for an inhuman price.
