Agreed, the problem I have is that the author explicitly stated that an IP number was a 2.3.3.2 sequence... obviously wrong.

As for the overall article, storm in a teacup, as the global internet is ramping up to the IPv6, supporting 2^128 (340 undecillion) IP addresses, thus the problem is eliminated for some many decades...


(BTW: World IPv6 Day is this June 8th...)
