If IPv4 Were Land: An Analogy for Address Scarcity
Original: If IPv4 were land
A new explainer compares the pool of IPv4 addresses to a fixed amount of land, illustrating how scarcity, hoarding and rising prices have shaped the market for internet addresses. The piece walks through how organisations hold unused blocks while others pay heavily for small allocations, and why the transition to IPv6 remains slow decades after it was introduced.
Why now: IPv4 exhaustion and the rising cost of address blocks remain an ongoing concern for network operators, prompting fresh analogies to explain the problem.
