No More Space On The Internet!!!


    Back in the 1980s, the Engineers who created the Internet and the IPv4 specification made about 4.3billion addresses. Very large number,right? well that number has run low...
     


     According to The Wall Street Journal the 4.3 billion addresses have been reduced to a mere 3.4 million in North America and that number is likely to run down before Summer. Luckily for all, this is not a problem without solution due to the presence of the newer IPv6, which businesses can turn to.
 Companies just need to do a in new  hardware that are compatible with the IPv6. Firms who do not want to install new hardware will have to buy old sites which going to be expensive in relation to the dwindling  of the Internet.
