Increase in the Number of Network Based Products

In recent years, especially with the widespread use of smartphones, the number of network-based products has increased rapidly and started to create a density. Especially in countries like Turkey, which cannot start using IPv6 type IP addresses, IPv4 addresses are insufficient and this negatively affects the development of the network sector.

Except for a few countries around the world, there is no country that can use the IPv6 system. When IPv6 becomes widespread by solving the technological inadequacies and more importantly the cost problem, all the household appliances you use in your home, from the refrigerator, the boiler, the oven, the air conditioner, the lighting system, the washing machine, will become manageable one by one over the network and therefore over the internet.

Ip Address on Smartphones

Imagine traveling on the subway with your smartphone, connecting to your fridge to see what’s available, sending your order list to the online grocery store, and having your purchases delivered to your doorstep as soon as you arrive home.

We are very close to realizing this dream. These services will lead to a reduction in the number of IP addresses. For this reason, IP v.6 type ip addresses need to become widespread very quickly.

Although there are similar applications within the scope of smart home projects for now, there is not yet a fully proven and widely used application. When developed countries increase their network investments and the IP bottleneck in the Wan network is overcome with IPv6, a completely different world will be waiting for us.

Development of the Internet in the coming years

To the extent that the researches show, these studies will be completed before 2020 and network-based products will not experience IP shortage. Since network switches and network elements working in the IT sector are renewed every 5 years at a minimum and 10 years at a maximum, IPv6 support is already available in renewed products.

Even most of the smartphones produced in the last 2 years have IPv6 support. The biggest obstacle to this transition will disappear with the purchase of the necessary devices and licenses to make the infrastructure of ISP service providers suitable for version 6.
