It may well never actually see use by everyone, but be replaced by an yet un-designed IPv5.   With Ipv6, literally every atom of matter in the universe could have its own unique IP address.   For those who care, the Ipv6 version of this server is located at:<\/p>\n<p>2600:3c00::f03c:91ff:fe50:d253<\/p>\n<p>For the insanely curious, an ipv6 address has 128 bits, rather than the 32 bits of IPv4.
