So apparently we've got too many people in this world with too many devices and servers and shit, and now companies like google are having to transition to IPv6 cause of you guys.
This should hopefully keep the internet from hitting capacity for another 10 years. But still, stop being so fat on the internet, there's a finite amount of space there. |

actually with the near exponential rate of technological advancement 10 years is a nice estimate.

And all the other bacteria would hate the 1% that keep showing off their new iphones. Edit: Seriously, 7 billion people. In 10 years' time, maybe 8 billion. That's 8x10^9. Each of those people would have to buy roughly 4x10^28 networking devices for this to be full. Humans have about 100 trillion cells (10^12). That means we'd have to own more iphones than we have cells. Unless we actually come up with workable networking nanobots (which I don't think is all that likely), I don't think we're in danger of breaking the limit anytime soon Last edited by Geminex; 06-06-2012 at 03:03 PM. |

Yeah, this isn't the same as the growth in processing requirements or anything. This is like saying "We're almost out of houses, build enough houses to cover the entire sun a hundred times over".

I'm pretty sure this is all false. How can you get trillions of tubes going into my house and back?

I thank Geminex for showing the sheer scale of this change.
And also: We'd still have the whole weird LAN masking shittick so even then it'd work for a bit. |

IPv6 will be all we need for the forseeable future unless they start assigning ip addresses to peoples clothing. Edit: Basically gem is totally right and any one thinking that we will magically have even a million devices on the internet per person is deluded.
