The Recent survey conducted by the European Commission found that of the 610 government, educational and other industry organizations questioned across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, just 17 per cent have upgraded to a new Internet addressing technique called IPv6.
These aren’t the Web address you type into a browser to surf to your favorite website, but rather the underlying Internet protocol addresses that denote individual devices connected to the Internet. These form the foundation for all online communications, from e-mail and web pages to voice chat and streaming video.
Due to this we’ll be down to our last tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of web addresses by the end of next year. New companies looking to establish a presence on the internet will have no option but to adopt the IPv6 address format.
Making the transition from the current system, called IPv4, to the IPv6 format is relatively straightforward, though it involves the purchase of new networking equipment. But support has been built into Windows and Macintosh computers for years.
Every day thousands of new devices ranging from massive web servers down to individual mobile phones go online and gobble up more combinations and permutations. The situation is critical for the future of the Internet economy.
As addresses run dry we will all feel the pinch: Internet speeds will drop and new connections and services will either be expensive or simply impossible to obtain. The IPv6 solution was agreed upon more than a decade ago, providing enough addresses for billions upon billions of devices as well as improving Internet phone and video calls, and possibly even helping to end e-mail spam.Similar Posts:
