    One small addition to your explanation Lee:

    Right now IPv4 constis of 4 bundels with possible values of 0-255

    IPv6 will be hexadeciaml I think. This means you will get a lot more values in one bundle than it is now.

    Actually I just did the maths.

    IPv4 has 256^4 different IPs available (however not all are accessible). That's more than 4.2 billion IPs

    IPv6 has (16^4)^6 IPs : 7.92282E+28
