[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 36 points 8 months ago (2 children) I see now why we were predicted to run out of IPv4 addresses, and also why we don't appear to have actually run out of them yet.

But carriers just did more natting to reduce residential customers to client only, or have real ipv6 addresses permalink fedilink source parent [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 15 points 8 months ago (1 child) We ran out in 2015 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BCsven@lemmy.ca -1 points 8 months ago (1 child) Technically no. Every household here gets a unique public IP address with an option of turning on a second Public IP if you want it, so there are still IPs available. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hamid@crazypeople.online [S] 13 points 8 months ago (1 child) Those public IPs are all owned by the ISP not the household. You couldn't create a new ISP and easily get a block of IPV4 to assign. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BCsven@lemmy.ca -1 points 8 months ago I understand, I mean if we had Run Out they wouldn't allow you 1 or 2 they'd be using CGNAT permalink fedilink source parent
