TCP/IP has 48 bits for addressing, this is more than enough for the world. There are inefficiencies currently with allocating these bits, but they're easier to solve than adopting IPv6.
- Dagger2 4y agoIt has 32 addressing bits, and even if it did have 48 that wouldn't be enough. Inefficient allocation isn't the problem; there's just not enough address space for the Internet at the scale it's reached. v6 is much easier (and cheaper) to deal with than layers and layers of NAT everywhere.
