Ip addresses Exhausting????

Growth of internet users -
 
The spread of Internet use in 
Asia and proliferation of 
Internet-connected phones  
world-wide are causing the 
internet to run out of numerical 
addresses .

Only Last five block of ipiv addresses remaining-

The IANA(International Assigned Numbers Authority),the top level administrator of the system called for a press conference to distribute last five “blocks” of Internet Protocol, or IP,addresses each block contains 16.8 million addresses to regional registries,ARIN(American Registry for Internet Numbers) who inturn distribute to ISP’s,Websites and others before running out.

About ipv4-
·        Since 1980
·        Maximum of 4.3 billion ip addresses .

What’s the Solution to scarcity of ip-

Current ip which is ip4 is a 32 bit address which consists of binary 0’s and 1’s so probability of getting different addresses is upto 4.3 billion.


So,ipv6 i.e, version 6 whith 128 bit addresses almost we can get infinite number of IP addresses . Already of 2% of major websites such as Google , Facebook support it .Smaller sites need to scramble to IPV6 addresses now. 

Facts: 
     
>  IPV4 Total IP's 232 i.e 4billion Ip's but total world population is 
     above 6billion.
>  IPV6  Total IP's 2128 IP's can be generated which is such big     number that every grain of soil can have a ip address.....

Test your IPV6 Connectivity: 


check Your IPV^ compatability
