Internet approaches addressing limit

In less than 18 months there will be no more big blocks of net addresses to give out, estimates suggest.
Predictions name 9 September 2011 as the date on which the last of those tranches is released for net firms and others to use.

Re: Internet approaches addressing limit
it would only affect NEW service providers/providers expanding their address ranges anyway.
IPv6 needs implementing, however I don't know many people that use it yet...

Perhaps it will mean the end of some companies who can't get IP addresses, I mean I for one would really Miss NTL if they went bust - oh, sorry, they're called Virgin Media now aren't they? Still, would be a shame if we never saw them again.

Re: Internet approaches addressing limit
They've said this for the last 5 years. If they were seriously panicking, they'd have rammed through changes by "law".

Re: Internet approaches addressing limit
There are ways to work around the IP addressing limit if you consider them
1) IPV6
2) Split the net into 2. amend webpages with net1. www.website.tld and net2. www.website.tld etc, set the domain name servers to route according to the prefix.
etc etc

Re: Internet approaches addressing limit
DNS servers don't do routing?

Oh, as supported by ICANN, the IETF, the RIRs and their members... etc?

Huh? Why would you do that? Are you suggesting that net1 prefixed domains would be IPv4 and net2 prefixes IPv6? IPv6 is already supported in DNS by the use of quad A records and so a website is either accessible via IPv4, IPv6 or both and so which version you use to connect to them is determined by your browser, OS and network connectivity. We're likely to see many years of IPv4 working in conjunction with IPv6 (dual stacked) but without the adoption of IPv6, the Internet as a whole cannot grow at the rates which we've so benefitted from in the past.

As we all know that there is no "Internet Police", which global cyber law enforcing agency would implement this?

Re: Internet approaches addressing limit
I heard that foreign language web addresses are now allowed. Was it Egypt the first one?
Many apologies, I meant non-latin web addresses.

Correct, but we're not talking about web addresses (URLs) we're talking about IP addresses
