No more IPv4 Jumping on the Bed!


I think you have heard about the phenomenon of Vinus and Jupiter. The both planets collide and shape a one big start called the "Star of Bethlehem". I have saw it myself ;) 
What is intersting is that this only happens one time every 2000 years. Oh my GOD! do you imagine?

In the same sense there is another super phenomenon that's happening, and I don't want you to miss, IPv4 exhaustion is offecially announced!
ARIN (or the American Registery for Internet Numbers), which is the IP addresses distributer, stated that ISPs only have three options now:
1- To get smaller IP blocks (no more than 512)
2- To Purchase their need from other companies that have more addresses
3- To register in the ARIN's waitlist in the hope that the desired amount of IPs can be available in the future

Granted, seems it's time to migrate to IPv6, even if we hate it because, "Internet of things" philosophy will need the 340 Trillion Trillion Trillion addresses, the IPv6 offers.
