Yes, it does, if you understand the way the internet works, you have domain addresses split out like telephone area codes. the first number has a few classes which are reservecd, such as the ones from 0-16. these I think are basic Arpanet IMP nodes. Reserved from the old military days. 17-28 are government and/or universites. 29 on up are open. then in the upper numbers there are classifications in an attempt to classify by countries and organizations and such. The last number usually gets reserved for local node dynamic numbering. Same with the second to the last one if your big enough. An address that you might get if your a large company with say 1000 users would be like 29.249.12xx.xxxx. Where the xx.xxxx is assignable by the company as they use them. So, this would make it look like 2^72^82^6 or more like 2-4M possible independent nodes. take Qualcomm for instance. they have quite a few master internet nodes wiht all 256 subnodes. Imagine if every company reserved 5-10 IP domain addresses like that. then imagine that we have all these independent devices which want service. So, about 5 years ago the internet proposed that they extend the addressing to double that amount and have a more independent distribution system. this is the INternet II system you may have heard about. Expect it to come online about 2-3 years from now. Some systems are compliant with it now. this also allows alot more features of hte internet to be used. Allows a better tunneling protocol to be used for packet identification and security. I am by no means an expert on this, but it has been addressed.
