Devices that connect over the Internet rely on a system called IP addressing to find each other. Currently, there are two versions of IP addressing: IPv4 and IPv6. Let’s look into the future of IPv4 and IPv4 vs IPv6 IPv4, the older iteration, was developed in the 1970s and utilizes 32-bit addresses. There are only 4.3 billion available addresses– a small number when you think about the smartphones, tablets, andRead more

When a device connects to a network, it needs to follow a certain standard. This standard, called Internet Protocol, allows a device to communicate with other devices. Whether it’s over the Internet or on a local network (like a home or office network), a device needs a network address. A device receives a network address once it connects to a network, typically through a router. To communicate over theRead more

There are about 4.3 billion IPv4 IP addresses. To be precise, it’s 4,294,967,296. While 10 digits may seem a lot, we have actually run out of those addresses. The Internet has outgrown its capacity. It’s not a doomsday scenario. But this development marks a crucial milestone in the history of our interconnected online world. 1.0 Are IPv4 Addresses Exhausted? Are IPv4 addresses exhausted? The short answer is: yes. IPv4 addressesRead more
