Currently, the internet uses IPv4 technology, which allows for 2^32 nodes to be connected to the internet (assuming no network address translation is being done), which amounts to 4, 294, 967, 296 possible nodes. In spoken word terms, that is four billion, two hundred and ninety-four million, nine hundred and sixty-seven thousand, two hundred and ninety-six possible nodes.

Actually, that is 4 thousand 2 hundred and 94 million 9 hundred and 67 thousand, 2 hundred and 96.
A billion, according to the real world, is 1,000,000,000,000 !
Now, three zeroes may seem trivial to most people, but I can assure you, you would notice the difference if you were counting out loud!
