What is Digg?82 Comments
- WBWB, on 09/25/2008, -6/+57Since China's ***** government keeps them behind a firewall anyway, ***** 'em, let's take away all but one of their IP addresses and make them use NAT.
- CindyMindy, on 09/26/2008, -3/+45Mrbabyman is actually the entire chinese internet userbase. that's the only way other than using a script he can digg and submit so many stories.
- sickanimations, on 09/26/2008, -1/+20Run out of IPv4 Addresses, that is. Not that IPv4 will be very relevant in 2011. Along with IPv6 I look forward to robot maids and floating cities.
- Pecheckler, on 09/26/2008, -2/+18The "running out of IP addresses" panic is over-exaggerated, the gradual switch to IPv6 will be relatively easy, and quite seamless to the majority of the world.
- ATL, on 06/20/2009, -1/+9EXACTLY what I was thinking!
- DarkShroud, on 09/26/2008, -2/+9You really are a dumbass. I know it's the cool thing on Digg and liberal blogs to insult Fox news but seriously do you think at all before typing?
- ramzavala, on 09/26/2008, -0/+7stop breaking down my ***** fire wall, you stupid mongorians!
- ferrariman60, on 09/26/2008, -2/+8You are retarded, that's the problem. What I do, is use my mouse to position the cursor over the "Bury" button. Then, you click on it with your pointer finger. It works! See how easy that is?
- RealmDown, on 09/26/2008, -2/+8If their firewall is so big and great, why don't they just NAT ?
- CoreyHalliwell, on 09/26/2008, -2/+7You mean they wont have enough Ip's for counterfeit iPhones?
- DarkShroud, on 09/26/2008, -0/+5RTFA.
- xkorbin, on 09/26/2008, -1/+6@boardthis.. I didn't know whether to digg you up for the correctness in your point that you are a dumbass, but I buried you for your other remark.
- specialK16, on 09/26/2008, -0/+5OHHH BAWWWWWWWW!!!
- blackfog, on 09/26/2008, -0/+5Just an FYI, a lot of corporations and universities have their own IP blocks instead of running everything through some NAT *****. Especially universities where IP addresses are tied to students for accountability purposes.
- zombiedepot, on 09/26/2008, -1/+6George Bush doesn't care about internet people.
- inactive, on 09/26/2008, -1/+5When I was a kid they talked about running out of phone numbers...
They're numbers. You can't run out. - zombiedepot, on 09/26/2008, -0/+4You mean I bought duct tape and gas masks for nothing?
- Ninh, on 09/25/2008, -3/+7Probably the US could sell them some of theirs. At least one thing to help push back the trade deficit.
- trollick, on 09/26/2008, -2/+6Bush administration didn't invest a single dollar into renewable IP addresses.
- SeaICIubber, on 09/26/2008, -0/+3Not if you go to the right clubs...
- Causemos, on 09/26/2008, -3/+6Oh no, what are the gold farmers going to do?
- davecachia, on 09/26/2008, -0/+3Subnetting and NAT wont solve the problems in China.
Asia was not allocated nearly as many Class A blocks as North America was.
They need to switch soon. - ortucis, on 09/26/2008, -3/+6No one cares.
- Zippo, on 09/26/2008, -1/+4OK, excuse the noob question, but what's the hold up on IPv6 anyways?
Just about every computer running an OS made in the last five years supports IPv6 now...
Is it a problem with other programs? Router/Gateway hardware?
Or do people just not want to have to deal with longer addresses just yet? - ByteGuerilla, on 09/26/2008, -0/+3You will be.
- SPRFRKR, on 09/26/2008, -0/+3Overflow
- georgemason01, on 09/26/2008, -0/+2You're both idiots. The problem exists but doesn't apply just to MBM. Digg is slow as ***** and the bury button doesn't work sometimes.
- Chaotix, on 09/26/2008, -2/+4what happened to IPv5? Never heard anything about it.
- higgs, on 09/26/2008, -0/+2Don't worry China, at this rate you'll own all our IP addresses, banks, starbucks and government by then.
- tnerd, on 09/25/2008, -5/+7There was so much I didn't know about China and its IP.. all we always talk about is its firewall!
- evanscott07, on 09/26/2008, -0/+2oh noes
- VTbrian, on 09/26/2008, -0/+2The problem is the hardware such as the network infrastructure. There is also a problem in knowledge base. Most network engineers can't do anything with IPv6 addresses. We just look at them and stare. Until someone starts asking for IPv6, were not going to waste the time to learn it.
- alchoheal, on 09/26/2008, -0/+2I hope they don't take any of Tibet's.
- VTbrian, on 09/26/2008, -1/+3Everyone's been in a panic of running out of IPv4 addresses for the past 10 years. Cisco thinks we at least can go another 10 years. We need to get everyone to start using internal addresses on their LAN first. That would solve much of the crisis.
- Balanced, on 09/26/2008, -1/+3Yes, yes you can.
- davecachia, on 09/26/2008, -0/+1VT,
My institution is focusing a lot of our curriculum on IPv6. Most people in my program can read IPv6 courses like reading a book.
And your right. My professor who was a head infrastructure engineer at Bell went to his CIO and put out the proposal for IPv6 implementation in PARTIAL areas. The CIO thought there was no need for it yet, so we didn't spend the money. What he didn't understand is that we will need it eventually, and the cost will only grow. - elmuerte17, on 09/26/2008, -0/+1buried as duplicate... i've seen this story at least three times on digg already and it was on slashdot a few days ago.
- enclaved, on 09/26/2008, -0/+1silly digger, reading is for kids
- KnightMareInc, on 09/26/2008, -4/+5I just read a story that said we'll all be out of IPs by 2010
- davecachia, on 09/26/2008, -0/+1You know how laggy that would be to translate all of their address into one exterior address?
- jpregulate, on 09/26/2008, -0/+1so what. get more!
- davecachia, on 09/26/2008, -0/+1Blackfrog,
This is true. Most institutions are their own ISPs. They will need to tunnel IPv6 as well on their boarder routers.Is digg broken or something? I dont know why they dugg down my first comment.
And,
VTBrian,
When the IP blocks began to be distributed (when the Internet began to grow), The entire African continent was given 2 IP blocks, and Asia was not allocated much more.
This is why China is running out of IPv4 addresses. North America will probably not run out of addresses. Some of our largest Class A blocks are barely even being used (Microsoft, Apple are examples of Institutions with class A blocks) - linksus, on 09/26/2008, -0/+1It didnt have enuf IP's. So they went V6 and threw a much bigger bag of um at it.
I - feezus, on 09/26/2008, -1/+2I have a hard enough time remembering four-octet addresses. Have you seen IPv6 addresses? Those things are MONSTERS!
- VTbrian, on 09/26/2008, -1/+2It would actually be PAT (Port Address Translation). PAT translates IP addresses to a single IP address using ports. NAT is for one-to-one IP address translations.
- commentbot, on 09/26/2008, -0/+1How many times has this story made the front page already???! Argh....
- Rikkochet, on 09/26/2008, -0/+1I have a lot of trouble with it, too. I have to hover over the Bury label until the little dropdown arrow appears, then move the cursor over to the arrow and click on that.
Not that I'm burying this story since it *is* interesting.. - jerrolds, on 09/26/2008, -0/+1China: I accidently
the whole internet - Balanced, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1Unless you're a network engineer, you probably shouldn't be memorizing IP addresses... That's why we've got DNS.
- hotpuck6, on 09/26/2008, -1/+2While this might be a concern for people who are still using windows ME, the rest of us who have had IPv6 rolling out for the last few years, this really isn't an issue.
