When we used
internet by any device or any media, an IP addresses is assigned to the device.
This may be a temporary IP that may get changed with every connection, or a
static IP address that never changes. Internet has now come into a situation
where there are more requests for IP addresses than available addresses. This
leads to a situation where growth on the Internet is slowed down because of
that fact.
From current view
structure scenario IPv4 address space is good for 4.3 billion IP addresses, a
large number but not nearly large enough. For consider apart: there are more
smartphones alone available in the world than IP addresses available. And
smartphones are not the only devices that people make use of to connect to the
Internet. They have desktop PCs, laptops, printers, gaming systems and maybe
even refrigerators that can also connect to the Internet. Plus, there is the
business side of things, with servers and networks that also need IP addresses.
Basically, around
the world has run out of IP addresses, that’s
why the new standard IPv6 is being launched today. Being launched does not mean
that it will be switched on, and the other will be switched off. Internet
Service Providers, websites and network hardware manufacturers are merely
enabling IPv6 for their products permanently on that day. It will run in
parallel with IPv4 for some time.
For the majority
of Internet users, nothing changes at all today. You will still be able to
connect to the Internet as usual, and access websites and services like before.
Depending on the devices and operating systems used, some users may even need
to upgrade their hardware or software in the future before they become IPv6
compatible. For now though, thanks to
IPv4 and IPv6 running in parallel, Internet connectivity should not be any
different from yesterday, or a year ago.
If you are interested in your system’s IPv6 compatibility,
you can run this little test in a web browser of your choice to find
out more about it.
