SYDNEY - Not less than a year, the world will run out of internet addresses. If this is addressed with slow, it is not likely to occur and cause damage to the application of internet network tariffs are more expensive.
Network support the protocol, better known as IPv4 ascertained only provide the IP addresses of not less than 4 billion IP address (IP address). Internet address is not a domain name or URL but a series of unique numbers to identify the devices connected to the internet.
The increasing number of internet users with a fairly rapid, with an increasing emphasis devices and internet services was only leaving the number of IP addresses up to 232 million alone. Left the existing IP Address, is predicted to expire within the next 340 days.
"When IPv4 was developed 30 years ago, seems to be a reasonable effort to provide an adequate address, given at the time of personal computers did not actually exist. The idea that mobile phones will also need an IP address when it has not occurred. Penyematan Similarly, the IP address IP device and a refrigerator, according to experts at the time was considered quite ridiculous, "said Carrier Relations Manager at the company's ISP Internode John Lindsay, as quoted through SMH, Monday (07/26/2010).
Previously, experts had told the IPv4 Internet also critical of this several years ago. The experts recommend that all internet players to move to IPv6, where the protocol was to provide trillions of IP addresses for every person in the world. Unfortunately, only a passive response of the Internet players. Even they were reluctant to invest to move to IPv6. Section, IPv4 to IPv6 migration is not easy. All devices connected to the Internet must be in the reconfiguration or upgraded.
Chief scientist Geoff Huston APNIC has provided awareness to this problem since 10 years ago. APNIC itself is an institution which deals with the allocation of IP addresses in the Asia Pacific region.
"The widespread use of smartphones, PCs and devices connected to the internet to make the IP Address will be exhausted within less than one year, faster than the previous prediction of 10 years," Huston said.
Huston said one of the biggest obstacles to solving the problem is only increasing the number of scales, namely IPv6 provides more IP addresses than IPv4.
According to Huston, all devices on an IPv4 would need to be upgraded to support IPv6 for both versions are not compatible. Consumers need to upgrade software on the computer and network equipment, even in some cases, they are required to buy new hardware.
Huston said that, once the Internet addresses run out so you will have such a black market for IP addresses where services will be created which has the highest capacity. If pressed then the user will pay you anything to get the IP address of this illegal and it can not be avoided.
"The cost of migration to IPv6 is more expensive now, but delayed the move would make the cost will be much more expensive. Even the folds of current needs," said Huston.
As a stop-gap measure, Huston said that ISPs will start forcing several customers and devices to share single Internet address, which will lead to a general web application stops working. Huston pointed to web applications like Gmail, Google Maps, and iTunes as an example of people who will be destroyed.
Fortunately, several Internet and software technology vendors have started to anticipate the switch to IPv6. Windows and Mac OS for example, both have been supportive of this new protocol. Similarly dnengan iPhone, internet service provider Google and Facebook have also participated and encourage adoption of IPv6.
"Transfer of IPv4 to IPv6 is only a small change. As you replace the tires of vehicles on the road to be able to continue to run smoothly to the destination. The investments are expensive, time consuming and does not provide any advantage. But this is an important foundation to be used until several centuries in the future along with the difficulty of getting an IP address in the IPv4 era, "said Google's engineers are also Internet 'founding fathers' Internet, Vint Cerf.
