Upgraded Internet has more addresses than stars in universe | The upgrade of the Internet system to a new standard that allows for a trillion IP addresses means there are more number of web addresses available than stars
in the entire universe, according to a report. After Wednesday's launch of Internet
protocol 'World IPv6', web operators and others have switched permanently to the
new system from the existing standard, IPv4. These are the strings of numbers,
which give each computer or internet-connected address a long, individual number
from which they can send and receive transmissions. According to The Daily Mail,
IPv4 provided 4.3billion addressees, while the new system brings with it 340 undecillion
potential IP addresses. A report by Universetoday.com suggested that an average
galaxy has between 100 billion and one trillion stars. The report further said
that there are between 100 billion and one trillion galaxies in total, which brings
us up to a range of between 10 sextillion and 1 septillion stars. These estimates
are based on extrapolations based on the mathematics, which estimate the potential
mass of the entire universe, and what gravity within our galaxy tells us about
the universe as a whole.
