If IPv4 Were Land: Explaining the Address Shortage

Original: If IPv4 were land

A new explainer compares the exhausted pool of IPv4 addresses to a finite supply of land, illustrating why IP addresses have become a scarce, tradeable commodity. The analogy has struck a chord with technologists debating IPv4 prices, brokers and the slow global transition to IPv6, which was designed to replace the depleted address space but remains incomplete decades after launch.

Why now: Debate over IPv4 exhaustion and the slow IPv6 rollout keeps resurfacing in technical communities.
