Yeah, we're running out of IPv4 addresses. However, when IPv6 protocols are adapted there will be a LOT more, so I wouldn't worry about this.

May IPv4 die in a fire. It was flawed from the beginning.

IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (4 billion, or 4.3×10^9, addresses) while IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (340 undecillion, or 3.4×10^38 addresses) IPv4 e.g.: 192.0.2.235 IPv6 e.g.: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 Edited by Sith, Thursday, 3. February 2011, 12:34.

It's a love story, baby just say yes

So our IPs will get longer? |

Hi.
|
Correct. IPv4 addresses are 4 bits, while IPv6 addresses are 16 bits... so, err, 4 times the size, right? |

Four? No, a lot more than four. IPv4 allows 232 addresses. IPv6 allows 2128 address. So 79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,336 times the size. Anyways, old topic, but the projected run-out date is August 2011. Of course, the projected date a few years ago was June 2012, so we'll see how things turn out. Edited by Reid, Wednesday, 23.

i wonder how the addresses are running out..... so they assign an address when a person buys a domain? why don they just delete the inactive addresses to save more room? Edited by M.o.D, Wednesday, 23. February 2011, 22:25.

It seems like someone has sorted it. It does show how much the internet is growing.
