Every computer on the internet needs an IP address. Your computer at home has an address, all of the servers which store your files, entertainment, mail and so on have addresses too.
There are a finite number of addresses available. Less than 10% of the available address space is now free for allocation to address registries around the world.
At current utilisation rates, this free pool will be gone in .....
An addressing standard called IPv6 extends the number of addresses which are available for use on the internet. Enterprises that rely on the internet are strongly advised to build plans to adopt both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing standards on their network.
Help is at hand! Consultancies like NetSumo can help you deploy ipv6 on your network, if you are an ISP or an enterprise who relies on a very stable internet connection.
