IP addresses are set to run out next year.  Apparently, there are only about 232 million IP addresses left, which isn’t even enough to the world through 2011.  The solution?  The IPv6, an address that uses 128-digits.

“It would give everyone in the world more than four billion addresses each, but most of the internet industry has so far been reluctant to introduce it. It would require each device that connects to the internet to be reconfigured or upgraded, with some users even being forced to buy new hardware, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.”
