What is IPv4 Exhaustion?

Transcription

Beginning in the early 1980s, each computer was assigned a unique public IP address with IPv4 standards, resulting in 4,294,967,296 different values. At the time, this supply seemed inexhaustible, but by the late 1980s, it was already clear that even a pool this large would inevitably run out. IPv4 exhaustion, a problem resulting from the unanticipated popularity of the internet at the time of its creation, is the depletion of available IPv4 addresses for connected devices.
