Your IP Address Just Changed (And You Didn't Even Notice) | Address Drift

IP addresses are not permanent. They change — sometimes predictably, sometimes unexpectedly. This phenomenon is known as address drift. In this video, we explain why addresses change over time, how DHCP leases work, and why mobile devices and dynamic networks constantly shift addressing assignments. We explore how drift impacts applications, firewalls, remote access, and troubleshooting — and why modern networks accept drift as a tradeoff for flexibility. You’ll also learn how systems compensate for address instability through DNS, reservations, static assignments, and identity abstraction. Address drift reveals a fundamental tension in networking: stability versus adaptability. Understanding that tension is critical for designing resilient systems in dynamic environments.
