It’s been called the next Y2K, and it’s fast approaching – the end of Internet addresses under the current Internet Protocol.
Australian experts warned Monday that the number of Internet addresses available under the current protocol, IPv4, will run out in about 340 days, the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper reported.
Under IPv4, there are only about 232 million IP addresses remaining. An IP address is the unique numerical code assigned to a computer or device by an Internet service provider (ISP).
