1 00:00:00,230 --> 00:00:02,240 So, as I mentioned before. 2 00:00:03,030 --> 00:00:06,480 The IPv4 address is a 32 bit number. 3 00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:12,100 Which allows us to address maximum of two to the power of 32 devices. 4 00:00:12,250 --> 00:00:13,270 In theory. 5 00:00:14,380 --> 00:00:18,670 That means there are fewer than 4.3 billion addresses available. 6 00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:20,020 See where I'm going with this? 7 00:00:20,260 --> 00:00:28,210 It's a problem because there are many, many, many, many, many, many more than 4 billion Internet 8 00:00:28,210 --> 00:00:30,280 connected devices in the world. 9 00:00:30,460 --> 00:00:38,260 Desktop and laptop computers, smart phones, smart TVs, smart cars, even smart fridges, smart ovens. 10 00:00:38,260 --> 00:00:40,000 You know, the Internet of Things. 11 00:00:40,290 --> 00:00:42,250 It's the future, baby. 12 00:00:42,910 --> 00:00:47,230 This has led to a shortage of IPv4 addresses. 13 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,660 So my friend and fellow genius, what is the solution to the problem? 14 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,810 I think the long term solution is to switch to Internet protocol Version six. 15 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,010 IPV six. 16 00:01:00,310 --> 00:01:05,290 IPV six has trillions of trillions of addresses. 17 00:01:05,470 --> 00:01:09,220 Enough to give every computer in the world a unique IP address. 18 00:01:09,970 --> 00:01:12,580 We'll get into that detail very soon. 19 00:01:13,860 --> 00:01:21,750 But the most important effort to migrate the IPv4 shortage is using network address translation Nat, 20 00:01:22,020 --> 00:01:29,280 which allows a private network to use one public IP address and that permits lots of private addresses 21 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,840 in the private network. 22 00:01:30,860 --> 00:01:31,740 But wait a second. 23 00:01:31,770 --> 00:01:32,550 Wait, wait, wait. 24 00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:34,080 Private network. 25 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:34,830 Nat? 26 00:01:34,860 --> 00:01:36,160 What the heck are you talking about? 27 00:01:36,180 --> 00:01:38,580 Now, I thought you wanted to go to IPv6. 28 00:01:39,530 --> 00:01:40,430 Let me explain.
