JagsLive writes “China is running out of IP addresses unless it makes the
switch to IPv6. According to the China Internet Network Information
Center, under the current allocation speed, China’s IPv4 address
resources can only meet [0]the demand of 830 more days and if no proper
measures are taken by then, new Chinese netizens will not be able to gain
normal access to the Internet. Li Kai, director in charge of the IP
business for CNNIC’s international department, says that if a netizen
wants to get access to the Internet, an IP address will be necessary to
analyze the domain name and view the pages. At present, most of the
networks in China use IPv4 addresses. As a basic resource for the
Internet, the IPv4 addresses are limited and 80% of the final allocation
IP addresses have been used.”
