KOMPAS.com - The Internet address will be exhausted within weeks, according to one inventor of the Internet last week. Internet address in question is an Internet protocol address (IP address).
Vint Cerf, who helped design the Internet protocol address, said that today's Internet can only accommodate 4.3 billion addresses. Cerf mentions that this address will be used entirely within the next few weeks.
Cerf acknowledges that Internet address when designing the protocol, he did not think the amount of 4.3 billion is not enough.
"This 'mistake' we, the designer. We think the Internet is an experiment and for experiments we think the amount of 4.3 billion is enough." Cerf said Google is also vice president in an interview.
Cerf made the IPv4 protocol, the protocol version that is currently connecting computers to the Internet around the world, in 1977 as part of an experiment while working for the Department of Defense. In 1981, IPv4 operate fully.
Internet protocol address of a sequence of numbers. Those numbers unique to each computer or other device - including cell phones and other mobile devices - are connected to the internet. An increasing number of devices connected to the Internet is what causes the acceleration ending IP address. Not just computers and mobile phones, televisions that are connected to the Internet also became available in some countries.
Internet protocol address is different from the web site address. The website address is known as "domain name".
To overcome this crisis, the new IPv6 protocol is being prepared. This new IP address to create trillions of internet addresses. Currently, IPv6 is able to work on all major operating systems although it has not been an area of IPv4. (National Geographic Indonesia / Alex Pangestu)
