Question

The IPv4 address scheme has enough IP addresses to give every blade of glass in the world its own unique IP. True False

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

IPv4 address are composed of four octets (8 bit numbers), ranging from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255

All those 32 bits, in decimal notation, can form a total of

`2^(32) = 4,294,967,296` different addresses.

Being more than 4 billion addresses and ignoring that some addressesare reserved for special uses, even present human population almost doubles that number.

So it is safe to state that IPv4 addresses is not enough to give every blade of grass its own IP.
