Real IP resource (real, public IP) addresses runs out, Armenian
Datacom Company network administrator Tigran Afrikyan told
NEWS.am-Innovation. According to him, ICANN - company engaged in
distribution of IP addresses already informed that IPv4 addresses
will shrink out probably by 2012.
"In the essence the matter is settled: IPv4 will be replaced by
virtually unfailing resource - IPv6 addresses. Presently, there are
2128 networks in IPv6 field operating under IPv6 protocol, that is
each Terran can have several millions IP-addresses. However, globally
there are few people in the world who shifted to this new IP version
and Armenia in this regard is not an exception. It goes on with IPv4
addresses, whereas shifting to the new version will enable to increase
information security level, as computer connected to the Internet will
have a real IP address. Presently, computers have real and private IP
addresses. Through real IP the computers get connected to the global
network, whereas private IPs are only for internally connected ones.
The latters can be connected simultaneously to Internet through one
PC connected to global network by real IP," the IT expert said.
According to him, it is advisable for all computers connected to
the Internet to have a real IP number that enables to immediately
detect the location in case of cyber-crimes. Even in U.S.- Internet
motherland, not each computer has real IP address, as their quantity
cannot fully meet the market demand. "When Internet was created,
no one could imagine that it would be so widespread and IP would be
in deficit. Moreover, presently there are much more PCs than IPv4
addresses," Afrikyan underlined.
Many countries try to solve the issues on information security
differently, by mere controlling internet-clubs where cyber-crimes are
usually committed. "Abroad, IDs are a must to enter the internet-clubs,
and inform the hours the customers used the Internet.
This method is pretty efficient and Armenia can use it too for
information security level increase," Afrikyan concluded.
