Map of the Internet |
Title text: For the IPv6 map just imagine the XP default desktop picture. |
Explanation
This explanation may be incomplete or incorrect: Please include the reason why this explanation is incomplete, like this: {{incomplete|reason}} If you can address this issue, please edit the page! Thanks. |
At the map all allocated IPv4 address blocks from 2006 are shown using a fractal mapping. At the bottom of the image it is show how the Hibbert Curve does work. Since 2012 there are no more unallocated blocks any more the picture would be look different at present.
In the early 1990's corporations and governments could register an entire class A segment but later it was divided into smaller parts because lack of space.
This does lead to the title text which mentions IPv6 with much more space for addresses. Even every heater at your home can get one.

- Map of the Internet The IPv4 Space, 2006 This chart shows the IP address space on a plane using a fractal mapping which preserves grouping--any consecutive string of IPs will translate to a single, compact, contiguous region on the map. Each of the 256 numbered blocks represents one 8 subnet (containing all IPs that start with that number). The upper left section shows the blocks sold directly to corporations and coverments in the 1990's before the RIRs took over allocation.

If one ip address was a square of area 100 by 100 ft, this entire map would be 1241 miles across, for a total area of 1.541 million square miles. That's about 41% the area of the United States, the size of a medium-to-large country. The ipv6 map would be half the size of the galaxy. MegaMutant453 (talk) 04:56, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
Why am I in various registrars?141.101.104.186
- Simply because one of those various registrars is your interwebz provider. Sobsz (talk) 19:55, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

I'd like to see an updated version, 10 years later. I think all the green would be gone. Microbe
He forgot the 172.16-172.31 private block. Way late, I know but I only just noticed. 172.68.253.203 01:51, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
Since the table is for the first octet only, it's not possible to show the 172.16-172.31 block. Drawing a table big enough is left to you as an exercise. However, he shows Class E addresses (240-255) as "unallocated", which is a bit misleading because routers are required by RFC 1812 to discard packets with these addresses, which are reserved for "future use". 172.68.142.89 18:21, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
- However, 10.0.0.0/8 is a full class A subnet that is on the same footing as 172.16.0.0/12 and 192.168.0.0/16, yet is labeled "VPNs" in this comic. 172.68.59.144 21:35, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
