In the last five years, the Internet has transformed the way
people live. The Internet’s tremendous growth rate greatly
exceeded any futurist’s predictions, including the Internet Protocol
(IP) architect’s plans from twenty years ago. IP version
4 (IPv4) provided ample addresses for network growth throughout
the 1980s, but the address-supply is now low outside the United
States. If current Internet growth rates continue, the prediction
is that the supply of unassigned IPv4 addresses will be depleted
within ten years. Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) overcomes many
limitations of IPv4.
