What Is IPv4 Address Exhaustion? Causes, Business Impact, and Practical Solutions

IPv4 address exhaustion refers to the depletion of freely available IPv4 addresses from the original global allocation pools. IPv4 uses a 32-bit address format, which provides about 4.3 billion possible addresses. That number was large enough in the early internet era, but it became limited as the internet expanded into cloud services, mobile networks, data centres, SaaS platforms, IoT, and global digital infrastructure.
