Remaining IPv4 /8s from IANA
IPv4 address exhaustion and its drawbacks
¢
as more devices and appliances is connecting
to the internet public IPv4 addresses
have become relatively scarce. which leads to using NAT, which :
*Breaks globally
unique address model
*Breaks
peer-to-peer model
*Breaks some
applications
*Breaks some
security protocols
* Breaks some
QoS functions
*Introduces
hidden costs
IPv6 mitigates IPv4 address exhaustion
¢IPv6
provides 128 bit address which gives an approximately 2^128 addresses, which is
sufficient for current and future internet growth.
