IP V4 stock adresses, composed of 4.2 billion adresses, will totally run out in early 2011.

There are less than 10% of IP V4 addresses in the world and the more the stock is running out, the greater the acceleration of the number of reservations IP V4 is. This shortage has important technical implications for companies.

The V6 IP addresses capital is almost unlimited (667 million billion square millimeters of Earth's surface ). But this system is not widespread so far.
The IP V6 protocol deployment, often announced soon materialize, because the costs are important for the update. In addition, a small number of sites are available in V6. And routing equipment are not always compatible with V6.

IP Address Assignment

The IP addresses assignment is managed by the IANA ( Internet Assigned Numbers Authority ) , relayed in Europe by RIPE (European IP networks ). Within 6 months, the RIPE will not assign IP V4 addresses to new applicants , so it is urgent for economic operators who plan to get one to know how to get it quickly, otherwise they risk to be forced to move to IP V6, or undergo some price surge .

Why have ones own IP V4 addresses (or V6) ?

All important structures or heavily based on the Internet should have their own addresses in order to be independent from their Internet Service Providers and have Internet access from its origin: the exchange points. Having ones  own IP address enable "to peer", to easily switch ISPs and be seen from the Internet as a network, not as a final branch of the Internet .
