We only have around 228.109.000 IPs left... and 339 days before we run out of IPs.
Now... what will happen in 339 days when we run out of IP addresses? Will we have to wait for other people to get offline when we want to get online? or will the internet just not work anymore? or what? xD |
We won't run out of IP addresses in 339 days. We will run out of unallocated IP addresses.
There will still be plenty of unused IP addresses. How hard it will be to distribute those unused addressses, and how long until we entirely run out of addresses are much harder questions.
Hopefully IpV6 will help, but as far as I know most routers/modems people have at their homes don't support it. I know my router doesn't.
There will have to be a serious effort from ISPs and router manufacturers to get everyone ready for IpV6.
