ipv6
a way of “addressing” computers on the internet, just like phone numbers in a phone book.
ipv6 is a newer scheme to ipv4, and was developed because we have virtually run out of ipv4 addresses.
there are around 4 billion ipv4 addresses — not even enough for everyone in the world to have their own address! ipv6 has so many more addresses that it would give everyone in the world about 6 billion addresses _each_!
donald: my ipv6 address is 2001:db8::fd41:87.
bob: waah! my ipv4 is 202.76.9.20! that’s so uncool!
the latest version of the internet protocol which provides an address to every computer, network device, or net-enabled device. ipv6 went live june 6, 2012. ipv6 makes several changes over ipv4, most of all increasing the number of ips from 2^32, to 2^128. in lamens terms, it increases the number of ip addresses from around 4 million to an unimaginable number, where there will now be 1000 ip addresses for every grain of sand on the earth.
3,400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ips are available via ipv6.
