We heard back from a large European ISP who not only corroborated our inferences, but also offered additional explanation for some of our results. This ISP changes IP addresses after 24 hours as a privacy feature and does not keep track of previously assigned addresses, so that any disconnect event is highly likely to result in an address change.
Address reassignment was substantially more complex than we expected, with periodic address reassignment of even connected, functioning equipment being a common practice. The technical goal of efficient address assignment appears dominated by non-technical goals of ISP policy, e. In particular, we believe that the address durations we measured should not be confused with DHCP lease durations. Standard DHCP behaviour, attempting to preserve the addresses for as long as the DHCP client is active or the server can remember, may be a good model for the majority of dynamically assigned addresses, but it is not a good model for the addresses that are the most dynamic.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the RIPE Atlas team for their efforts in deploying and maintaining thousands of probes over the world. The diversity of measurements from their probes along with their ease of access was invaluable to this work. The full paper is available here.
I am a sixth year PhD student and I love measuring networks: their topology, connectivity and performance. Log in. My ISP Virgin Media states that my IP address is dynamic but it hasn't changed for over four years even though the router log shows that attempts have been made to change it. Can you tell me why this is is happening please?
Hello Joan, Our paper found that even "dynamic" addresses can stick around on home routers for months and sometimes even years. Anecdotal evidence i. However, addresses can remain assigned to home routers for much longer than the lease duration; this is because DHCP allows the home router to renew its lease before the lease expires. As long as the lease continues to be renewed, the home router's address will continue to persist.

Only RIPE Atlas has address changes and context We chose to use RIPE Atlas for this study since it includes measurements that allow us to determine when an IP address change occurred and what the addresses were before and after the change. Some ISPs change addresses periodically Prior research reported that a major European DSL provider changed customer's addresses every 24 hours in one suburban area and anecdotal evidence suggests that such periodic renumbering is more common.
Outages can lead to address changes Now that we can estimate the maximum duration ISPs are likely to assign an address to a CPE, we were next interested in whether we can also estimate the minimum duration.
We show one example of each below: The graphs show the likelihood of an address change renumbering given network or power outages of different durations in LGI left and Orange right. Addresses often change across prefixes Considering that users can sometimes evade blacklists easily, we investigated whether blacklisting the entire prefix would be more effective. There are Dynamic DNS services that take care of this problem; however, they add expense and complexity.
This can be a serious downside. May limit remote access : Depending on your remote access software, your program may have trouble connecting if you use a dynamic IP address. Potentially more downtime : While it doesn't happen often, sometimes your ISP is unable to assign you a dynamic IP address. This can interrupt your internet connection.
Less accurate geolocation : A dynamic IP address can make your geo-location services fail because you can keep a dynamic address that no longer reflects your real-world location. Typically, static IP addresses are best for businesses, which host their own websites and internet services. Dynamic IP addresses are usually fine for most consumers.
They are cheaper and typically pose a bit less of a security risk. Now that you understand the differences between static IP and dynamic IP, you may realize that it never mattered before which kind you are using.
If you get your internet service through an ISP or cable company, in most cases they assign you a dynamic IP address. Within your own network, by default your devices are assigned dynamic IP addresses. It is usually not much of a problem to switch to a static IP address. You do this by going to your router's interface, finding the device for which you want to assign a static IP address, and then assigning it one usually by manually typing in a number.
The details vary from router to router. On a network with an administrator, you need to have the system administrator do this for you. No matter whether your internet IP address is static or dynamic, your ISP -- and tech-savvy bad guys -- can tell approximately where you're located and what you're trying to do on the internet.
You may want to hide your IP address -- no matter what kind -- from snoopers. Vaughan-Nichols on September 23, Updated on August 23, Other Threats. Internet of Things. See all Security articles.
