Internet Running Out of Numbers | IPv4 Exhausting Soon!!

“IP” stands for “internet protocol,” which is a set of rules governing how data transmitted across the network. Evolution of Computer networkers starts in the 1960s and in 1969 the internet officially born. IPv4 has served as the backbone of the internet since its inception from a computer network to the worldwide network.
An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. There are two versions of IP addresses: IPv4 and IPv6.
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses, which equates to 4 bytes and represents in decimal form eg. 192.168.1.1. That limits the address pool for IPv4 to around 4.3 billion unique addresses. That sounds a lot but now when the population on earth is around 7.3 billion and more and more devices in use and always stay online. Now it looks like IPv4 is exhausted.

IPv6 is a 128-bit, or 16-byte, addresses. This means the address pool for IPv6 is around 340 undecillion, or 340 trillion trillion trillion, which is an unimaginably large number. IPv6 represents in Hexadecimal form eg: 2001:0DB8:0000:0002:0022:2217:FF3B:118C. It is more secure as compared to IPv4 and improves network performance as well.
