Analysts say that the World Wide Web is running out of space and Online giants now face the risk of going into meltdown in the future as a result.

According to Daily Star, the concerns came after eBay went down earlier this week with buyers and sellers unable to log on.

Analysts are blaming outdated technology for the meltdown threat, saying that it can no longer handle increased traffic from users of smartphones.

Experts say the issue is with the route map called Border Gateway Protocol, which consists of thousands of complex paths through the web sending information to each other and is being extensively used by large networks.
