Today we reached the end of the IP addresses


The day has come. After Vint Cerf, one of the fathers of the Internet, to assume his guilt when he thought that IP 4,300 million would be sufficient in the birth of the Internet, the "end" is here.


The original protocol is running low and we welcome the new IPv6. According to British website incorporates The Register, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA, in English), an organization that is responsible for allocating IP addresses, has delivered the last block of addresses to APNIC, an organization responsible for assigning IPs in Asia and the Pacific.


APNIC As reported in a statement on its website have been dealt two blocks to give the 33 million Asian organization addresses for providers and organizations in need.


APNIC says it is expected that IPv4 addresses already allocated to last until September. But since then no more, so who needs a new connection type also internet get a IPv6. It also reiterates that IPv6 is the only means available for sustained growth of the internet "and urges all members of the industry to" move quickly toward implementation. "


On the other hand, organizations Number Resource Organization (NRO), Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the Internet Society (ISOC) and Internet Architecture Board (IAB) will give a press conference this afternoon (presumably at 15.30 GMT) to explain how to make the transition to the next generation IPv6. The associations say they will make a "significant announcement."


There is some doubt about the transition to this new standard, as it may appear a "gray market", which is traded in secret with the IPv4 address blocks to upgrade to IPv6, as the first option would be cheaper. (ABC / EP)
