It is predicted that by the year 2012 we will have exhausted all available IP addresses. The current address pool, commonly referred to as IPv4, needs a plan to migrate to a new numbering scheme to accommodate the flood of new devices vying for IP addresses and for the sake of service continuity. This panel explains why we have this problem, how it can impact us, and how some companies have already successfully moved to make the transition.
