The timeline for IPv4 address space exhaustion may not be 2010, but it is likely to be exhausted within the next two or three years at the present rate of IP address allocation.

They've been saying this for 10 years. Either their math is faulty or they're lying.

I've seen other articles with the math--If the numbers are correct, then this timeline is correct..

You were saying ...

They've been saying this for 10 years. Either their math is faulty or they're lying.

In regards to the "time factor" -- it could vary a bit, but what is certainly true and verifiable, is that the address space has a maximum upper limit and it cannot be exceeded, no matter what.

And that upper limit number has been approached closer and closer as time goes on.

There is basically not enough IP numbers for all that people want to do with them, and that's not a lie, for sure.
