Asia Running Out Of IP Addresses

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the ip-address-in-every-pot dept.

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."

    They should really swap to IPV6 then.

    I mean, thats the point of the protocol. Complaining about a lack of addresses and not using IPV6 is a bit silly.

    Don't give them any more. 22M spam relays is plenty.
