What happens when 996 005 996 001 people are online at one time?

What will happen when the next person logs in? O_O


If you want to know what "996 005 996 001" is, it's 999^4 (999 being the max amount of numbers in a 3 digit space, 4 being the amount of parts of a IP there is. 999.999.999.999)

No-one cares about IPv6 users.

Theres aren't that many users in the world

I don't think there are enough people who own computers, or even different routers for that many seperate ips. That means 1 (estimated) out of every 6 people own a seperate router for a seperate IP.

Although there are VPN's and VPS's to seperate that crap but I'm not going into detail about this. There just isnt enough IPs for there to reach that.

Correction: We have already ran out.

And as is says on that page, there's only about 4.3 billion public IPv4 addresses. Not 900 Billion

4.3 billion, That's nearly an IP per person in the world! Too many to count, lol
