Netflix Ready for IPv6 Launch on June 8th, 2012 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HackingNetflix/~3/jH5tcVXxdSI/netflix-ready-for-ipv6-launch-on-june-8th-2012.html http://www.hackingnetflix.com/2012/06/netflix-ready-for-ipv6-launch-on-june-8th-2012.html Josh Evans, Netflix's director of streaming infrastructure, announced on the Netflix Tech Blog that Netflix is ready for the upcoming IPv6 launch on June 8th.
As you may know, the world is quickly running out of available IPv4 addresses. Some basic math highlights why. IPv4 addresses are limited to a 32-bit address space. This means that there are roughly 4 billion possible addresses on the internet. To put this into perspective, there were roughly 7 billion people on the planet in 2011. This equates to less than one IP address per person, which is not sufficient for the needs of a global internet community and supporting infrastructure.
Enter IPv6, the next-generation Internet protocol, which has a 128-bit address space. This equates to ~4.8×1028 addresses for each of those seven billion people alive in 2011. This is more than enough for you to have IP addresses for your computer, mobile phone, connected TV, refrigerator, toaster, and coffee maker with room to spare.
Evans notes that Netflix customers don't have to do anything to prepare for IPv6, and they'll soon share technical details of the rollout. |
