IPv6 Adoption Up 300 Percent Over 2 Years

Posted by timothy on from the final-curve-will-be-interesting dept.

Mark.J - ISPreview writes "The Number Resource Organization, which is made up of the five Regional Internet Registries, has revealed that the rate of new entrants into the IPv6 routing system has increased by 300% over the past two years. The news is important because IPv4 addresses (e.g. 123.23.56.98), which are assigned to your computer periodically, are running out. IPv6 addressing (e.g. 2ffe:1800:3525:3:200:f8ff:fe21:67cf) was invented as a longer and more secure replacement." IPv6 is still gaining ground slowly, particularly in the US.

    wow. I mean, like.. wow
    100% of 1 is 1
    200% of 1 is 2
    300% of 1 is 3
    or
    100% + 200% = 300%
    1 + 2 = 3
