    REAL IP ADDRESSES RESOURCE RUNS OUT IN WORLD

    Real IP resource (real, public IP) addresses runs out, Armenian
    Datacom Company network administrator Tigran Afrikyan told
    NEWS.am-Innovation. According to him, ICANN - company engaged in
    distribution of IP addresses already informed that IPv4 addresses
    will shrink out probably by 2012.

    "In the essence the matter is settled: IPv4 will be replaced by
    virtually unfailing resource - IPv6 addresses. Presently, there are
    2128 networks in IPv6 field operating under IPv6 protocol, that is
    each Terran can have several millions IP-addresses. However, globally
    there are few people in the world who shifted to this new IP version
    and Armenia in this regard is not an exception. It goes on with IPv4
    addresses, whereas shifting to the new version will enable to increase
    information security level, as computer connected to the Internet will
    have a real IP address. Presently, computers have real and private IP
    addresses. Through real IP the computers get connected to the global
    network, whereas private IPs are only for internally connected ones.

    The latters can be connected simultaneously to Internet through one
    PC connected to global network by real IP," the IT expert said.

    According to him, it is advisable for all computers connected to
    the Internet to have a real IP number that enables to immediately
    detect the location in case of cyber-crimes. Even in U.S.- Internet
    motherland, not each computer has real IP address, as their quantity
    cannot fully meet the market demand. "When Internet was created,
    no one could imagine that it would be so widespread and IP would be
    in deficit. Moreover, presently there are much more PCs than IPv4
    addresses," Afrikyan underlined.

    Many countries try to solve the issues on information security
    differently, by mere controlling internet-clubs where cyber-crimes are
    usually committed. "Abroad, IDs are a must to enter the internet-clubs,
    and inform the hours the customers used the Internet.

    This method is pretty efficient and Armenia can use it too for
    information security level increase," Afrikyan concluded.
