Answer:

NAT

Proxy

IPv6

Step-by-step explanation:

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows a local area network (LAN) to connect to the internet using only one external IP address. The LAN addresses (typically 192.168.x.x) can be used over and over again.

A proxy is a computer that makes requests to the internet on behalf of the computers on a LAN. It is a more restricted flavour compared to the NAT, but the effect is the same.

IPv6 is a new addressing scheme that will use a 48 bits address space rather than a 32 bits address space of IPv6, and that would provide plenty of addresses.
