We are running out of IP addresses

    According to IPv4 Address Report we are running out of IP adresses. On this report it's stated that IP deficiency will occur by August 20th 2012. As a result some brokers will be able to buy some mass IP adresses and then others will buy through those brokers and it may come up this issue being most discussed in these years.

    The IPs will then be very expensive of course.

    IPv6 has been around and implemented into OS kernels for years now.

    Once all IPv4 IP addresses are gone IPv6 will take care of the need for new IP addresses :)

    As I stated already. IPv6 is has been implemented into NIX type operating systems for years now and Windows Vista supports it as well.

    So fast? By the time IPv4 is obsolete the net will have been around what 25 years or so?

    I wouldn't say that was FAST :p

    Like I have been saying unix / linux based os's have had IPv6 implemented into their kernel's for years. This includes the majority of routers and switches out there.

    With IPv6 we will never face a lack of IP's. If years and years for now the 6 block IP addresses ie. 123.123.123.123.123.123 run out then I have no doubt something like IPv8 would come around :D

    Your tutor would be 100% correct in stating that.
