the issue is the current IP system of XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, they are running out of numbers. Though like the article said there has been a solution for this issue created for a good 10 years now that expands IP addresses past 4 blocks of numbers, just has to actually be implimented.

Yeah and the letters arent only there to make more numbers as well lol, also dont forget all the silly extra signs that calculus throws in there too, because + - x and / are not enough.
