    NO
    the biggest 32-bit integer is 2^32-1
    the *number of values* is 2^32
    the first value is 0
    but even that is not the whole picture, because for instance all IPs that start with 192.168 are reserved for private use and cannot be given out nor should be used outside a LAN
    and there are other reserved numbers
    another aspect of the problem is that addresses are given out in blocks which are hardly ever completely used
    the same problem will possibly confront the world's telephone systems someday
    but no worries, the IT industry is, as was said, in the process of switching to 128-bit IPs
    128 bits is enough to give every electron in our galaxy its own address
    assuming we dont waste too many addresses

    OMG. Is this what physicists feel like when they read the comments under physics vidoes ?
    Back in the days before the web I would often remember the straight IP address instead of a domain name. Only for places I used regularly though. These days I don't even know what my own IP address is.

    • @SarthorS
      @SarthorS 9 лет назад +2

      Allan Richardson No I am not paying extra. My ISP was the first one ever in the UK and they were pretty innovative developing new technologies which most other later ISP's adopted. They were true techies. They offered an excellent service without relying on irrelevant bells and whistles, or questionable business practices such as AOL.
      Unfortunately they were eventually bought by a larger ISP, and once the suits took over, the quality of the service started to drop. Tech support used to be by Brits who really knew what they were talking about. Now it's been outsourced to India where you get some random person with a hard to understand accent reading through a script.

    Technically the 32 bit scheme is infinitely extensible by using NAT. Also, the video acts like the devices in your house take up extra adresses, but that is not true. They will be off of your single home IP, and internally addressed with at 10.x or 192.x address

    • @stensoft
      @stensoft 7 лет назад +7

      Not infinitely, NAT extends IP addresses by combining IP address and port number to uniquely identify a computer. Port numbers are limited to 65,535 (16 bits). So NAT can extend 32bit addressing to at most 48bit, usually much less because normal work on a computer (such as watching RUclips) needs a dozen or two of port numbers.

    • @alexdrudigmail

    • @highpath4776

      Was the problem that Internet Servers needed unique IP addressing? Most Net users are normally clients and dont need the full address exclusivity, just a unique, dynamic or translated return path. Was IPv5 going to be a 64 bit system, but the technology jump to 128 came in faster than IPv5 could be commercially developed

    • @kyleherbig
      @kyleherbig 9 лет назад +1

      Steven Titus For website hosting on a dedicated address without depending on a centralized proxy (which NAT based upon), you need to buy the right to a IPv6 address from the IP address managing group (name was in the video, but I don't remember off the top of my head), or you need to find a willing seller of a IPv4 address holder. Market Pricing via supply and demand is a temporary and decentralized solution to this as you, but if the expansion of the Internet of Things keeps up its exponential pace, then the demand will overwhelm the supply of sellers to the point where prices of IPv4 addresses will skyrocket, thus forcing individuals and companies to either accept the pyramid like structure and centralization that NAT forms (which we somewhat have now), and/or buy the rights to never used IPv6 addresses.
      Big ISPs like comcast already use NAT for their customers. All of the comcast customers in my area use the same public IPv4 address from the regional hub, so then from the centralized hub, every customer is given a unique IPv4 address from the viewpoint of the central hub via NAT as an intranet. All router-based LAN networks work the same way - all devices have their own IPv4 (and usually IPv6 address as well) from the view point of the router as a intranet, and connect to the rest of the internet via NAT on your router and your modem.

    • @steventitus4399

I even heard from people in India that they actually got internet via some sort of LAN network with their ISP. Which, although not a great solution, is a solution to the problem of running out of addresses. (Btw I understand that in the end we just need ipv6 )

    What? I was typing a comment and RUclips just went to the next video?
    I was saying there are fewer than 4,294,967,296 IP addresses in use on the Internet. All the RFC 1918 addresses, as well as numbers beginning with 0 ("Discovery"), 127 ("Loopback") and 224-255 (Multicast and "Reserved") make up a big chunk of addresses you'll never see, along with a bunch of others. My calculation that is 592,708,864 addresses (13.8% of the number given) not usable. This doesn't even include address ranges like 1.1.1.x and 1.2.3.x that are informally reserved, plus some companies and the DOD have large blocks that may not actually be in use.

      Isaac Karjala To be honest, about a decade ago I would have agreed with you. There was a point in time where I really wanted to have every computer on my home network with a routable address for protocols like you mentioned.
      But the way that so many Internet-connected home devices these days work, you go through some third-party portal site that interacts with the device using a proprietary protocol. My Nest thermostats (yeah, I have two in my house for different zones), for instance, are stuck behind NAT but the Nest website straightens all that out for me.
      Western Digital has a sort of similar service for their network attached storage devices. It's like the future is to hide protocol details behind some cloud service. I hate the phrase "Internet 2.0", but that really seems appropriate ;)

    • @chimpornator
      @chimpornator 8 лет назад +2

      no less or more secure. saying its non routable is not 100% true. My understanding is the outer header for the packet contains the ipv4 address for your house, then your local address is at the next stage of the header. you can start pinging for the local adresses, guessing at local routing names (usually people will have 192.168.0.1 or some other std format), and find the full address for a computer behind a local network. Also most attacks originate from the computer itself in the form of malware, in that case you already know the address.
      also I don't know the ratio, but most budget internet connections do not assign a unique ip address to each home, instead sharing them by assigning a dynamic IP address each time you reset your connection (and sometimes while its still running). usually doesn't cause an issue, but you can't run a home server accessible offsite, or be the server for an online game, or home host a website with a dynamic ip (easily).
      switching to ipv6 would make things alot easier on many levels, and in reality the added layer of obscurity in ipv4 is only an annoyance to an attacker, not something that significantly reduces the occurence of attacks.

    • @ewiem4351
      @ewiem4351 8 лет назад +5

      It is actually the 4,294,967,286th in a series that starts at zero , but by convention we start counting at 1, not zero. So it rolls over to the next place even though the next register doesn't exist in the computer. It gets to 4,294,967,296 because we talk about it as if we started counting at 1..
      Another example is when a dollar equals 100 cents - where this takes three places.
      But you can count to 100 if you start at zero as the first, and 99 as the hundredth. That only requires two places.
      That's the difference between computers, where IP tables are maintained, and everyday reckoning. And yes, iIt can be confusing.

Given the proliferation of computer technology who knows how many devices will require IP addresses in 50 years or 100 years etc? Better to just make it 128-bit and never worry about it again, its not like its too demanding in processing power. There are also more technical and security reasons as well

    • @Bunny99s
      @Bunny99s 9 лет назад

      What most forget is that a single device might use multiple addresses at the same time. There are multicast or unicast addresses which devices can "use" to actually hook into a stream. That's already happening with IPv4, though there are just a few multicast addresses out there ^^
      There are a lot of special addresses which are locked for special uses. For example the IPv4 reserves a whole class A subnet just for the local loopback address. This address can only be used locally on each device and always refers to the device itself. The whole 127.X.X.X space is wasted for that ^^. That's 16 million addresses or 1/256.of all addresses in the IPv4 address space.
      It would also simplify the assignment of IP addresses. You could actually define certain addresses to be bound to the location on earth. So each square meter might have a million addresses available. A seperate address space might be used for mobile devices (as they very likely change position).
      The GUID also uses 128 bits. It's "said" that the possibility that the same GUID is picked twice is very very unlikely. Same for MD5 hashes, they are also 128bits long. Since modern computer hardware is already able to natively handle 128bit values it's no suprise they picked 128bits for IPv6.

  • @EdPwnz
    @EdPwnz 11 лет назад

    If people are still wondering. Domain Name is basically the 'mask' of its IP. Then a DNS is used to translate the Domain Name to its IP Address, in other words 'see what's behind the mask'. Think of it as a Phonebook. Doman Name is the Name. IP Address is the Number. DNS (Domain Name Server) is the Phonebook itself. Very brief and vague explanation but I tried to keep it simple.

      ComandanteJ The only difference is there is no classful boundary or broadcast addresses and hex characters versus decimal. I guess the difficulty of the process is debatable. I found it to be about the same since your main concern in both ipv4 and ipv6 is how many bits represent the subnet bits and how many represent host bits. In IPv6 you are converting to binary from hex instead of decimal. In my opinion the difficulty of the process is the same.

    ...But local addresses on a network are only local addresses meaning that anyone could have say 192.168.1.1 on multiple networks.. what he needed to say is that the internet IP provided by their ISP's (Internet Service Provider) are running out, so I don't think that is necessarily correct for a university scale internet structure as they might use 2 or 3 (maybe more) internet connections or different IP's given by their ISP or even enterprise grade internet structures which allows them to have more connected users to a single modem than the typical home user would.

    when they say, "computer can only count up to 4 billion" they mean when it specifically comes to this address thing. the thing is, those old computers can only handle numbers up to 4 billion at once, which it needs to do for addresses. but when it comes to stuff at the user level, such as a calculator or storing the number of youtube views, it can take the number in chunks, and have no problem handling larger numbers.

    3:55 Wrong. Any device that resides behind a router (that is if people want to have their oven, fridge, etc, hooked up to the internet) is communicating via NAT. They don't need their own external IP for comms. They only require an internal private IP and MAC address.
    But the need for IPv6 is apparent.

  • @ultimut
    @ultimut 11 лет назад

    A lot of the larger service providers (with many of the large backbones) are already using IPv6. IPv6 is very difficult to adopt which is why it is not happening quickly at a micro level.
    What you are not taking into account is the private subnet ranges. For example the 1918RFC ranges: 10.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.0.0 and 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.0
    Source NAT enables you to use 1 IP to address many machines behind it, so it is not really the 1 to 1 mapping you are describing.

    One slight correction: A switch doesn't look at the IP adress because it's usually a layer 2 device. It rather holds a database of MAC adresses to the respective port which would be a 48-bit number. There are "Layer-3-Switches" but they would be called a router by every IT person I know. Oh and please don't say "n-Bit computers can count up to 2^n", they can adress 2^n would be much more accurate because my C64 had no issues other than time and energy to count to many thousands with a for-loop.

  • @mattomanx77

    We went from 32, IPv4, (2^4+1= 2^5= 32) to 128, IPv6 (2^6+1= 2^7= 128)
    Where the unused v5 would have been 64 (2^5+1= 2^6= 64)
    Why we didn't just call v4 "v5"? I have no idea. Correct me if I'm wrong on my answer, while your at it tell me why we made it the way we did.

I know that there have been 64 bit computers since 2003 (I research), and by 3:00 A.M.. January 19, 2038, we are mostly going to have 64 bit computers. The challenge for you Brady is to find the maximum counting value of an 86 bit computer using math (which would be hard to decimalize since 64 bit is about 18.4 quintillion). I want you to record it, and post it on RUclips on one of your math channels. I really enjoy Numberphile and hope that you could do this without the help of anyone. That would be delightful.

    Actually, some of these address are not usable in the first place. 6.25% are "reserved for future use"(reads "wasted") and pretty much all IPv4 implementations rejects them as invalid, 6.25% are reserved for multicast groups and cannot be assigned to any device, and several other blocks for special purposes, which amounts to 1.3% of the entire address space.

  • @N3Coalition
    @N3Coalition 11 лет назад

    Not all 4,294,967,296 IPv4 addresses are usable IPs (ex: 127.0.0.1). The reason why we haven't all switched yet is the same as why you can have 20 devices on your home network while only being issued 1 IP from your ISP: NAT, specifically PAT.
    Utilizing Private IP ranges and PAT and a well designed network architecture can allow a company to use only 1 to serveral IPaddr for their entire business. I'm pretty sure most home users are using some form of PAT/NAT without even possibly realizing it.

    An ipv6 address is just an 128 bit number instead of a 32 bit number in the case of an ipv4 address. You can write this binary number in the hexadecimal number system which, as you noticed, uses letters too (digits 0-9 and "letters" A,B,C..,F)
    You can easily write any ipv4 address 'with letters' using a hexadecimal notation :)
    Ex. 231.18.45.20 -> 256^3*231 + 256^2*18 + 256*45 + 20 = 3876728084 (in decimal, E7122D14 in hex and in IPv6 style notation -> e712:2d14

    There are actually a bit less than 2^32 available addresses. That doesn't factor taking out private IP ranges such as 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, or 192.168.0.0/16. It also doesn't take into account the two x.x.x.0 or x.x.x.255 addresses that have special meaning and cannot be used. These addresses account for about 18 million IP addresses that cannot be used.

  • @bbgun061
    @bbgun061 11 лет назад

    NAT is still used by almost everyone. The good thing is that it's 99% automatic, so no one notices it. Any time you connect your computer to a wifi hotspot, or a router at home or work, that router gives it an address in the 192.168.x.x block. The router then uses NAT to let you talk to the outside world.
    This means the ISPs only have to give one unique IP address to each customer, not to each device.

    32-bit operating systems can handle 128-bit addresses, just like 16-bit operating systems and processors could do computations with numbers greater than 2^16, just not as efficiently. The 32- or 64-bitness refers to the widths of registers and buses, and larger numbers can be handled by combining more than one register and by sending them over the bus in parts.

    IPv6 uses hexidecimal numbers, which is a base 16 number system, as opposed to our normal decimal system (base 10).

    Each router in these private networks remembers where to return information in it's address table after it receives a response. We would have run out of IP addresses a long time ago if every device had to have it's own IP address. There is a benefit to being able to give every device it's own address since there is some overhead in networking in this way, so IPv6 is going to be useful, but it is by no means a necessity. Which is why no one is in a big hurry to convert.

  • @ahzaag

    IPv6 just means we wont have the same problem when we run out of 64 bit addresses. It technically refers to encryption, not addressing. The 32 bit address digits in included in the 128 bit encryption. think of it like a series of boxes. You have 128 boxes to fill but only 32 of them can currently be filled with address digits, no more, no less. It's not exact but I hope it helps you understand the general idea, if not the technical specifications.
