Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has predicted a digital dooms day on 1276 th day from today. This is due to the fact that More than 85 per cent of the available addresses have already been allocated and the rest will run out by 2011,The address here does not mean the domain names (URLs) you type on your browser to access a website but the IP addresses that denote individual devices connected to the Internet.IP addresses actually acts as a map to successfully find the particular website you typed in the browser.

The current IP address scheme(ipv4 introduced in 1981) was originally designed by the address makers for a billions of computers (as a limit). but due to the ever growing needs of the internet this limit is predicted to be reached by 2011.

The only solution for this problem is to adopt IPv6 address scheme , which considered to be on a bit costlier side.

Until such time, start looking at the countdown clock for the doomsday at penrose.uk6x.com.
