Asia Running Out Of IP Addresses

miladus writes "According to a story at Zdnet, Asian countries are running out of IP addresses. China, for example, was assigned 22 million IP addresses (for a population of 1.3 billion) under IPv4. The US owns 70 percent of current IP addresses. Perhaps IPv6 will solve the problem."

    Or perhaps NAT or IPMasq will solve the problem, as it has everywhere else...

    They should just unplug China's Guangdong province from the rest of the Internet - that should buy Asia a few more IP Addresses', and the 'dongs can hack and spam themselves instead of the rest of us :-)

    For about the fifty-billionth time, NAT is not the same as a firewall. While firewalls and NATs often go hand-in-hand, they are by no means equivalent.
