Internet Will Run Out Of IP Addresses By 2010
The "father of the internet" has warned that the web is running out of addresses and users need to act now to change to a new system.
Vint Cerf, the man who helped invent the system and one of the world's leading computer scientists, said that the web does not have enough unique codes that allow computers to communicate with each other.
He said that when the internet protocol (IP) addresses do run out, the connectivity of the internet will be damaged and some computers will not be able to go online.
"This is like the internet running out of telephone numbers and with no new numbers, you can't have more subscribers," he said
Preparations had to be made now, he said, to switch addresses to a new system.
When the internet was founded in 1977 there were 4.2 billion addresses available under the internet protocol version four (IPv4) system.
Each of the IPv4 addresses has a series of 32 binary numbers, but with the rapid expansion of broadband across the world, it is estimated that these addresses will run out by 2010.
A new system called IPv6 has been ready for a decade and is already used in Japan to connect thousands of earthquake sensors through a computer system that sends automatic alerts to television programmes and turns traffic lights red.
IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long and so provide a possible 340 trillion, trillion, trillion address space.

400GB optical disc invented by Pioneer - now 500gb
Just last month, we reported that Pioneer had developed a 400GB Blu-ray compatible disc. Today however, they have one-upped their previous announcement by announcing they have developed a 500GB disc that can be read by blue lasers and is technically compatible with Blu-ray. The disc uses 20 layers at 25GB a piece to equal 500GB and has the capacity to store 10 times the amount of 1080p footage that current BD movies have. “While Blu-ray discs (BD), offering both 25GB and 50GB, are sufficient for users’ current demands, we envision the need for a technology that can support far greater capacities as HD streaming in particular becomes commonplace and users build larger files of digital content,” said Pioneer multimedia division product manager Brendan Sheridan. “The multi-layered method is compatible with Blu-ray devices providing a long term future for the technology and is more easily produced when compared to competing technologies such as holographic storage.” Sheridan does note that the disc is only a research project prototype right now but that the company is in talks with the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) to formalize the standard. When will the public see this disc? Two to four years, expects Sheridan. |
