Exhaustion of the IPv4 address pool - how did it happen?

IPv4 is a well-known protocol used on the internet that enables communication between devices. The article discusses the issues related to the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, which is a result of the growing number of devices connected to the internet. The depletion of IPv4 addresses has occurred worldwide, leading to difficulties in allocating new addresses. One of the solutions to this problem is the introduction of the IPv6 protocol, which offers a vastly larger address space. The article highlights the importance of transitioning to IPv6 as it allows for further growth of internet infrastructure and meets the needs of future generations of devices. It also outlines various strategies that organizations can implement to adapt to this changing landscape of addressing.
