they'll be gone in a week or so afaik

thankfully ipv6 has enough addresses for every single atom in every single persons body on the entire planet and more

clocking in at a mere: 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456

we could have been consuming 100 trillion addresses per second for 1 billion years straight and we would still have more to go.

better yet, at a rate of 850 trillion (not too far from a quadrillion!) addresses every nanosecond for as long as the earth has been known to have existed (about 4.5 billion years), we would still have addresses to spare.

imagine if a cheeto was an ip address. you could create a mass of cheetos heavy enough to dwarf the weight of the moon with comical ease. in fact, you could do this 9001 billion times over and still be good. that's a lot of cheeto moons.

(hopefully my math is right, should be!)

The IPV6 migration is going to be a royal pain in the ass. Some companies have already started rolling over to IPV6, others for legacy reasons can not.

Not sure what the actual time frame for run out of addresses is, but don't expect to see IPV4 disappear just yet, most smart phones don't support IPV6. Poor design or brilliant marketing?

Is Ipv6 generally supported by generic software?

And i heard something about various IPS providers not supporting it either, so is this BS of true?

So what happens when IPv4 runs out to a normal person who surfs the net?

Old, but still good read and still relevant.

I know where I work we are still trying to figure out how we are going to do the switchover, while still maintaining legacy devices.

I guess once World IPv6 day gets here we will see how well it works.
