OMG IT'S Y2K2!!!
And yeah i think they will use IPv6 but keep the 1Pv4 aswell.
Like all the new servers etc. will run on IPv6

It said in the article IPv6 is not backward compatible with IPv4. If we switch to IPv6, everyone will have to in one go.FireGrey said:
Wow imagine if this happened you could probably be banned because of some idiot that is pure evil
You didn't say anything about your education in your original post, so it sounded like you were talking about the internet in general.tj_cool said:What does that have to do with my education?
I just said we learned about it in class this year
No they don't. You can switch to IPv6 now if you want. Google runs an IPv6 version of itself, etc etc.BobTheJoeBob said:
I've not bothered to read this article, judging by some of the comments in this thread its pretty bad.
Yeah, after looking at it again, I could've probably made that a bit clearer...Richy Freeway said:You didn't say anything about your education in your original post, so it sounded like you were talking about the internet in general.tj_cool said:What does that have to do with my education?

Sorry for the confusion
edit: 7000th post
If it was this year, then I knew there would be a Y2.1K!
And it's amusing that this is posted by a user called "Dead End".
EDIT: And from the source, there's a photo of someone who's apparently a scientist from APNIC...

The end is near.

My ISP allready does this >_<
And I once got banned from somewhere for this very reason >_
@ macgeek417 your ISP probably uses dynamic IP addresses (as opposed to static), you have to be careful in this situation as they can also use network address translation (NAT) which does use the same IP (it is how you can have many computers behind a single router) which ISPs outside of Asia tend not to do on a big scale (there are examples but they are not so common/the practice is not as prevalent) but to the basic webserver looks very similar. NAT by and large works well enough but when people speak of programs not working this is usually it (certain protocols do not take to having their ports fiddled with).
In other news I have heard this story (IPv4 address exhaustion) once every 7 or so months for the last 5 years if not longer.
IPv6...... I am not as excited/optimistic as some. Far too many embedded devices that can/will not be seen to and the router level translation stuff (IPv6 facing the world, IPv4 back behind your router) have always seemed a bit flaky to me.

Just because you have a IPV6 address, doesn't mean you can't have an IPV4 Address locally. See the thing is, when you are connected to a router or something of the sort, the IP address you receive is completely different than that of the one your ISP provides you with.

companies turned towards NAT (to hide private IPs like my ISP does - which gave me a hard time setting up wifi on the DS) but i guess IPv6 is now looking to come soon if it gets too much out of hand
in reality, i am sure its not tht difficult to solve the IP issues esp since IPv6 is auto IP assigning (as i was told) so if the original ISP source adjusts their system to assign these addresses, there wouldnt be much of an issue
i am sure FAST would like to say something
