IP forwarding is the process by which a network device, such as a router, forwards or relays IP (Internet Protocol) packets from one network to another. It enables communication between different network segments by directing data packets to their appropriate destination IP addresses. When a device forwards packets that are not destined for its IP address, it acts as a gateway, passing data from one network to another, typicallyRead 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
