IPV4 Heist: How To Prevent IPv4 Thefts?
IPv4 addresses are becoming more and more valuable daily. This is especially true as these addresses have been exhausted by the Regional Internet Registries. And also because, IPv6 has not been implemented properly. As Ipv4 is a commodity of incremental value, it is vulnerable to thefts. Moreover, as it is a virtual commodity, IPv4 thefts are on the rise. Existing IP addresses are not stolen, but IPv4 theft comprises the illegal allocation of available IP address pools. In addition, many scammers make use of dormant IPv4 addresses to launch spam attacks on unsuspecting users. The fifty million USD AFRINIC hack is a classic example of IPv4 theft. It also had a very negative impact on the complete IPv4 market. After[…]

IPv4 Transfer Process – How To Do It?
It is very difficult to acquire IPv4 addresses these days due to the depletion of IPv4 resources. In addition, the random distribution of the IPv4 addresses makes the transfer process much complicated. There are five regional internet registries, namely APNIC, LACNIC, AFRINIC, ARIN, and RIPE NCC. These internet registries control the IPv4 address management inside the geographical areas allocated to them. For example, ARIN is responsible for IPv4 allocations in the US, Canada and many Caribbean and Northern Atlantic islands. The availability of IPv4 addresses with the RIRs has depleted almost completely. However, some businesses still hold extra IPv4 addresses due to activities like mergers, acquisitions and the adoption of IPv6. Owning An IP Address For you to own an[…]

Understanding the Differences between TCP and IP
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) forms a core standard of the Internet Protocol Suite that governs the communications across the internet and other computer networks. It operates at a much higher level when compared to IP (Internet Protocol), which is another principal communications standard. The major concerns of TCP remain the two ends that send and receive data packets, such as a web server and the browser on a user’s computer. TCP ensures optimal delivery of data packets to and from both ends to establish and maintain the connection. Apart from that, TCP also manages flow control, size of the data packets, the data exchange rate, as well as congestions in the network traffic. IP, on the other hand, maintains data[…]

What is Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)?
Transmission Control Protocol or TCP is a network standard that refers to how a network conversation can be established and maintained so that the connected applications and programs can share data. TCP and IP (Internet Protocol) work together to define how computers can send packets of data, forming the basic rules of data transfer over the internet. How Does Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Work? TCP works based on a connection-oriented system, meaning that it establishes and maintains the connection until the applications have completed exchanging data at both ends. The TCP layer determines how the data is broken into packets to facilitate its transfer over the network, as well as sends and accepts data packets to and from the network[…]

Facts to Know About Internet Protocols
Internet protocols, abbreviated as IPs, enable computers to communicate with each other. When these communicate, data moves from one system to another one. Internet protocols also give these devices IP addresses to identify one another. Two types of internet protocols exist today, namely IPv4 and IPv6. When the internet began spreading quickly in the 1990’s, there were in excess of 4 billion IPv4 addresses. The sixth version of internet protocol came in 1998. Both versions of internet protocols can coexist inside a network. Here are more fun facts about IPs.

Mid-Year Report: How the IPv4 Market is Progressing
Following a slow start, the number of IPv4 address blocks traded is surely picking up, though it is below the peak trading times of 2018. By August last year, the quantity of IPv4 numbers flowing from and to companies in the region that falls under ARIN was over 27 million. 2018 was still the most active period in the history of the IPv4 market. 2019 is not quite shaping up to be just as active. Through July 2019, just above 17.50 million IPv4 addresses have been transferred, representing a decline of 35% from 2018 over the same period of time. The high volumes last year were the outcome of an increased stock of big address blocks getting into the market.[…]

How IPv4 Address Brokers Improve the Market Outcomes
The significance of IP address brokers and how they make value is not obvious to many. Some people expressed their concerns that the presence of brokers in the market was leading to increase in prices for IP addresses. While this viewpoint is shared by some, it overlooks the many different ways
