IPV6 Storage

I wonder how many websites hardcoded remote ip addresses with VARCHAR(15) or unsigned integer?

You mean like it's Y2K all over again. Let the free-for-all begin. :)

From now on, I store all data as NTEXT, just in case!

And I'm wondering how long before IPV8 is needed? When they start implanting phones in women' ears when they give them a drivers license it won't take long.

I bet you everyone who reads my post will go back and check their codes just to be safe. ;)

I'm sure in China they need it now.

Why? The site only has IPv4 access. No problems here :)

Wouldn't surprise me a bit.

Not to be the wet blanket, but I don't think the human race will ever need v8, unless it's going to feature different security or something like that. The number of addresses available are staggering. Like to the tune of 10^28 individual addresses per person on the planet today. I certainly don't want to lug around 10^28 smartphones.

What if they have nano bots with wireless transmitters built into them? Never say never. :laugh:

Yeah but they thought IPV6 would be enough.

Not even then. There are approximately 2*10^24 subatomic particles per kilogram; if we assume the average person weighs 100kg, that's still ~100 IP addresses per quark and electron. :laugh:
3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18

Would it really be all that big a deal to just change the size of the field. It wouldn't change the data any.

True enough. I'm assuming that IP address usage would remain fairly similar to IPv4. Now if folks start getting creative with the usage of IP addresses... Then all bets are off. For example, if a web site decides to use IP addresses as unique visitor identifiers. Theoretically, Google.com would need ~7 billion IP addresses. So would every other web site that wants to use this same scheme. Also, who says IP addresses should be restricted to servers/domains? Maybe a document repository decides to use a scheme of one IP = one document? DNS changes from Domain Name System to Document Name System. *That* would cause IP usage to balloon.

I was thinking more along the lines of an IP address for your car, house, etc.. The number could sky-rocket.

Only until a way is found to create a bridge to the n parallel universes (or closer to home - FTLC to other populated planets in our universe) ... (FTLC - Faster than Light Communications)
