Internet Protocol - IPv4 vs IPv6 as Fast As Possible

IPv4 vs IPv6... Why do we need to transition from the Internet Protocol that's served us so well for all these years? Maybe because we're completely running out of IP addresses!

I know this guy, he tells me what graphics cards to buy

Omg, you just explained in 6 minutes what my professor took 3 hours to explain and still missed my brain. Thank you for simplifying this!

You guy's did a pretty good job on explaining an otherwise very complex topic in a decently simplistic video. 90% of people who don't have in depth networking knowledge still won't know half the things said in this video though lol

Thanks Linus for being my true TAFE teacher! You help me pass every time. Also your vids helped me gain all my PC building knowledge, thank you!

The addresses on 1:58 are wrong hehe. Numbers can only range from 0-255 :P doesn't matter though, doubt many people will notice or care...

[maraya]

im so proud of myself for understanding 90% of what he was saying lol

Why IPv6 and not IPv5? Are these protocols made by Microsoft or something?

[guitaripod]

This was so much new info. I'd have to watch it multiple times to understand it. Thank you for making a technical video like this! I love this channel

Explain GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, UMTS, HSUPA, HSDPA, GPRS, 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, LTE as fast as possible

I love the clean editing in these videos, keep it up :D

Minor complaint: The addresses shown at 1:52 and 1:58 are not valid ipv4 addresses. Ipv4 addresses only go up to 255 in every point-separated block (so 255.255.255.255 would be max).

youre literally the only reason I haven't flunked out of college yet

60 minutes from my college class into 5. Great!

You are the one of good youtuber. Who directly start video to explaining knowledge without intro song and ads or paid promo... Big fan of you bro.. Respect 😎👍

The photo at 0:12 is of our post office in Kaitaia, in New Zealand. How did this end up on Techquichie?! So cool!

Was looking for vape reviews, ended here.. Well I still stayed to watch the vid :)

Great presentation, Linus!  Good work as always!

I would, however, like to call out your finger wagging at the carriers for not moving to IPv6.  Speaking as someone who does Network Security for a major carrier, I can tell you that we work 50 - 60 hours a week, on average, just doing the stuff we call "keeping the lights on." (i.e. routine maintenance, upgrades, patching, internal department service requests, and B2B traffic and routing).  We would need to add a lot of contract positions just to have enough man-power to consider such a change over.  As it is, there aren't enough experienced network and IT security professionals for the current demand, let alone the surge that would be created if carriers were on a deadline.  A LOT of our equipment would need to be replaced (and bring in new enterprise-grade hardware isn't like buying a new printer for your home-office; it's an EXTREMELY involved and expensive process), so you were right about that.  It would also fundamentally alter the routing and flow of the vast majority of our network traffic, which brings us to the last but certainly not least issue, we would have serious concerns about service outages this process would undoubtedly cause.  Losing control over the traffic, itself, is not really a concern as we, ultimately, still control the routing and flow (and, yes, monitoring) of all traffic going across our network.  But the whole process would be a gargantuan undertaking to put it mildly.

Why don't you do a video on net neutrality?

Simple solution: Have Android, iOS and WP all run exclusively in IPv6. Give ISPs 2 years to transition then everything will be v6. Let's see ISPs not be pressured to upgrade

I love the tech quickie videos. I show them to my 66 year old dad who finds then so fascinating. Thanks for making it easy and fun LMG.
