Social networking and news platforms internationally keep spreading information about COVID-19 and its adverse effects on human health and businesses. At this time, it is potentially tricky to differentiate real information from the manufactured details. Are we still handling a modern epidemic that could affect us if not continuously taken seriously? Or, is the world handling too much information that has arrived at its complete incubation period? It could actually be both, like IPv6 and IPv4 are protocols that could benefit or detrimentally affect the condition of the web when not focused on properly.

As more schools, government institutions and businesses ask millions of workers to telecommute, there could be concerns regarding how strong the internet’s Internet Protocol version 4 backbone infrastructure is. More individuals use video conferencing tools when kids are not in schools and are streaming films and playing online video games. The above-mentioned activities will result in more network connections, further bandwidth use and more IPv4 addresses.

Large telecommunications companies have supported that claim by stating that the traffic volume would keep changing in terms of usage patterns. More people now use residential networks instead of business networks. So, the requirement for the addresses in the IPv4 marketplace will keep increasing when more devices should be connected to smaller networks, virtual private networks, websites, and video streaming.

If your company turns to offshore manufacturing, then present market conditions would have affected it. Much of the marketplace saw a loss of more than 15% for February 2020, which began a big selling frenzy. Consider what your organization could do when profits come down for an indefinite period.

If your company has surplus IP addresses, it could be a chance to sell the addresses and create additional sales to offset its losses. The additional profits can aid in preventing employee layoffs in what can continue to be a world pandemic.

In sharp contrast, if your company will have an incoming flow of users who access your services because of raised internet usage, then you may have to purchase IPv4 addresses to support your remote-work employees and in-person workers. For instance, the stock of Zoom Videos has gone up 20% in February 2020, even as almost every company saw a considerable loss.

Everyone should make sense of online information, whether it is manufactured or real, as a choice they should make. Act now and reduce the perceived risk in the future, or deal with your tricky situation without too much harm.
