IP version 6 is the replacement for the aging IPv4. This protocol theoretically offers 2^128 (340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456) unique addresses.<ref name="What is My IP">http://www.whatismyip.com/faq/what-is-an-ip-address.asp</ref><ref>https://royal.pingdom.com/the-number-of-possible-ipv6-addresses-read-out-loud/</ref> However, RFC 2374 (obsoleted by RFC 3587) has limited the valid IPv6 addresses to about 2^125 at this time. Additionally, some addresses will be reserved for special purposes, and for various other reasons, not all of these theoretical addresses will but usable.<ref>https://rednectar.net/2012/05/24/just-how-many-ipv6-addresses-are-there-really/</ref>

With IPv6, the amount of possible IP addresses is increased exponentially, allowing for more exponential growth in the use of mobile phones, literally all of which now have internet connectivity, computers, video game consoles such as the [[PlayStation 3]] and the [[Xbox 360]], tablet computers, and even computers found within modern automobiles. IPv6 can also justify for the future growth in [[world population]] of [[Earth|Planet Earth]].
