IPv4 Address Space Limitations
- 32-bit IP address space allows approx. 4.295 billion unique addresses (2^32)
- Fixed classes result in unavailable node addresses between classes or subnets
- Limited number of node addresses leads to inefficient IP address allocation
- Class A and Class B IP addresses are becoming depleted
- Unassigned and unused addresses within existing Class A and Class B blocks exist
