When discussing Internet Protocols, most people are familiar with IPv4 and IPv6. But you might wonder: What happened to IPv5? Why does it seem like the Internet skipped from IPv4 to IPv6? Let’s dive into the fascinating history behind this “missing” protocol. What Is IPv5? IPv5, officially known as the Internet Stream Protocol (ST), was an experimental protocol developed in the late 1970s and 1980s. It was designed toRead more

IPv4 地址曾经只是互联网运行所需的基础资源。但在今天，它越来越像一种具有市场价格、可交易、可租赁的数字资产。造成这一变化的原因并不复杂：IPv4 的总量有限，而全球互联网对 IPv4 的需求并没有消失；与此同时，IPv6 虽然早已出现，但迁移进度依然缓慢。这三股力量叠加，正在重新塑造运营商对 IP 地址的看法，也改变了互联网基础设施的经济逻辑。原文将这点概括为“有限供给、持续需求与缓慢转型”，并指出这正在推动 IP 地址成为影响全球电信经济的可交易资产。 IPv4 稀缺并不是新问题 全球互联网至今仍大量依赖 IPv4。这个协议诞生于更早的时代，只能提供大约 43 亿个地址。这个数量在互联网初期似乎足够庞大，但在今天已经明显不够。原文指出，IANA 在 2011 年就已将最后一批大型 IPv4 Read more
In Internet communication, IP addressing is a cornerstone technology that allows devices to connect and exchange information seamlessly. For Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and IT professionals, understanding IP subnetting and CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) is essential for efficient network management and scalability. This article delves into IP subnetting and CIDR concepts, highlighting their significance and practical application. What Is IP Subnetting? IP subnetting is the process of dividingRead more

Internet Censorship and the Great Firewall: Understanding the Boundaries of the Digital World The Internet has revolutionized the way we connect, learn, and share information, but its open nature has also led to significant debates about control, privacy, and freedom. At the center of these discussions lies the concept of Internet censorship and, most notably, China’s Great Firewall (GFW). This article explores the intricacies of Internet censorship, itsRead more
