According to http://twitter.com/#!/IPv4Countdown http://twitter.com/#!/IPv4Countdown, we will run out of IPv4 addresses in about a month. Won't June already be a few months past when we run out?
- zaphoyd 16y agoThat counter is when global registries have allocated everything, not strictly when all useable addresses are in use. IPv4 addresses will never "run out", they will just get more expensive and complicated to use until the point where IPv6 is cheaper and easier. IANA exhaustion is just one big milestone along that path.
- zacharycohn 16y agoAh, I see. Thanks for the explanation! I assumed that this was counting how many are in use/assigned, versus simply allocated.
