除非换到IPv6，否则中国将会很快用完IP地址。中国互联网络信息中心(CNNIC)根据现在的地址分配速度，推测中国的IPv4地址资源只能满足830天的需求，如果到时候不采用新的地址分配手段，中国的新网民将无法正常访问互联网。 CNNIC负责IP商业的Li Kai说，如果网民想访问互联网，IP地址用于分析域名和浏览网页所必须要的。目前中国的大多数网络使用的是IPv4，作为一种基本资源，IPv4地址是有限的，80%的最终可分配IP地址已被使用。

CNNIC: China’s internet Will Be Short Of IP Addresses Soon
September 23, 2008
The Internet in China may soon run out. According to the China Internet Network Information Center, under the current allocation speed, China’s IPv4 address resources can only meet the demand of 830 more days and if no proper measures are taken by then, new Chinese netizens will not be able to gain normal access to the Internet.Li Kai, director in charge of the IP business for CNNIC’s international department, says that if a netizen wants to get access to the Internet, an IP address will be necessary to analyze the domain name and view the pages. At present, most of the networks in China use IPv4 addresses. As a basic resource for the Internet, the IPv4 addresses are limited and 80% of the final allocation IP addresses have been used. By the current allocation speed, China’s IPv4 address resource can only meet the demand of 830 more days. If there is no available new resource by then, new netizens will not be able to gain normal access to the Internet and the business expansion of network operators will be impossible.
Li says that a new IPv6 network address, which is a basic network resource without these limitations, has been developed in America, but this kind of IP address is only used among educational websites in China. To use the IPv6 network address, network operators need to spend a lot of time and money on equipment updating.
CNNIC now has started hosting seminars to remind the operators to apply for the remaining IP addresses as soon as possible for a storage in addition to call for a preparation for the providing of IPv6 addresses to netizens.
