Are you ready for the big internet crunch?

(CNN) -- The internet as we know it is reaching its limits.

Within 18 months it is estimated that the number of new devices able to connect to the world wide web will plummet as we run out of "IP addresses" -- the unique codes that provide access to the internet for everything from PCs to smart phones.

"The internet as we know it will no longer be able to grow," Daniel Karrenberg, chief scientist at RIPE NCC, the organization that issues IP addresses in Europe, told CNN.

"That doesn't mean it will cease to function, but entry could be limited to new devices."

Y2K! Oh noes!

Did you get this off of Yahoo Messenger?

Is MySpace going to close my account next if I do not re-post it in 5 minutes and send to all of my friends?

You didn't see the "CNN" leading the article?

It was bound to happen eventually. IPv4 has a limit. Remember back in the early 90's when we all thought, "A 200 megabyte hdd! We'll never need more than that!"

Haha, 1Gb RAM for 150$ ;-)

As for the TT: I suggest people who started after 1996 get out first;-)

They've been saying this for over a decade. The truth is most shit is, and can be proxied. Just because an IP is allocated, does not mean that it's actually used.

IPv6 is still unlikely to happen, so there will probably be a few ipv6-over-v4 things implemented, and even more shit behind NAT.

Same as it ever was.

I don't really understand the finer workings of all that, but if an IP is allocated, whether it's used or not, doesn't that remove it from the supply pool anyway?

I guess the new business will emerge - IP addresses for sale!

Yes, and no. It means someone has ownership of it, but it's also possible to sell/trade/migrate the portable ones. Non-portable can be tunneled if necessary, but should be discouraged.

lol at the thread title.

I would think capacity would be more along the lines of the fiber optics under the seas to run out of room for more parallel data. Or something.

Serge Litehead · 05-27-2010, 01:36 PM

IPv4 uses 32-bit (four-byte) addresses, which limits the address space to 4,294,967,296 (2^32) possible unique addresses.

IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This results from the use of a 128-bit address, whereas IPv4 uses only 32 bits. The new address space thus supports 2^128 (about 3.4×10^38) addresses.

i'm IPv6 ready baby!

Davy · 05-27-2010, 02:34 PM

It's going to be a problem. And yes, there could be a market for IPs.
