anuseems Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Buys them from South AmericaFrom Fudzilla:Microsoft's Azure cloud service has run out of IPv4 addresses in the US, and it's borrowing from its Latin-American IP block.Microsoft said that Azure customers may have noticed that virtual machines deployed in North America might think they are elsewhere, with web browsers bringing up international versions of a website, rather than the American one.This is because IPv4 address space has been fully assigned in the United States, meaning there is no additional IPv4 address space available.http://www.fudzilla.com/home/item/34989-microsoft-runs-out-of-ipv4-addresses Edited June 14, 2014 by anuseems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 This was threatening to happen for some time, now - IPv6 is the way ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylence Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 why aren't they using IPv6 instead of borrowing IPv4 from other places! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deunan Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 IPv4 still carries 96% of Internet Traffic and uses 32-bit addresses, IPv6 has risen to 3% of Internet Traffic and uses 128-bit addresses.IPv4 has approximately 4.3 billion addresses.IPv4 (IP) 172.42.236.1IPv6 (IP) 2105:db9::ff99:45:3892 (Shortened)IPv6 has approximately 340 undecillion addresses. (340,282,366,920,938,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeSmithG Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 M$ have said for years now that the new technology will be IPv6.If they had spent more time in getting this protocol ready rather than wasting theirs and our time on the white Elephant windows 8, then problem would be solved.

banned Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) There is so much equipment connected to the net that isn't even IPv6 compatible, we may never see full IPv6 adoption in our lifetime.I personally couldn't care less about IPv6. IPv4 works just fine for me. Edited June 19, 2014 by banned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDistortions Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 There is so much equipment connected to the net that isn't even IPv6 compatible, we may never see full IPv6 adoption in our lifetime.I personally couldn't care less about IPv6. IPv4 works just fine for me.I don't know a whole lot on IPv4 and IPv6 addresses but couldn't they make them so the equipment that is only IPv4 compatible to where they can still work. Either that i guess it's time to upgrade the hardware to IPv6. But then the hardware part has always lacked in updating the hardware to embrace new technology - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computingI didn't get a 64 bit system until i built my gaming PC in 2012. I didn't even know 64 bit processors existed before 2010. I have a 2009 laptop and a 2008 desktop but both are 32 bit (though the desktop is possible to upgrade to a 64 bit processor, though it's not worth doing at this point). This is why i will never ever buy a store bought PC anymore, when you do a home built system you will learn to see what is out there and what you can afford is basically what you'll get and generally will get more out of doing one so you can spend that extra money on a better motherboard, processor and graphics card.Anyway apparently the government is focusing on making the switch http://www.fcc.gov/guides/internet-protocol-version-6-ipv6-consumers. I ran the test and Comcast isn't doing IPv6 according to the test but that could change, i care about whether IPv4 will cause problems, the longer we stay in it the worse it could get. It's probably catastrophically worse than using XP. If you're not IPv6 compatible then you will need to be, because the switch will be inevitable. It's like the analog tvs to digital signal thing, you'll have no choice but to adapt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
