Internet Protocol is a set of technical rules that defines how computers com-
municate over a network. There are currently two versions: IP version 4 (IPv4)
and IP version 6 (IPv6).

IPv4
IPv4 was the first version of Internet Protocol to be widely used, and still
accounts for most of today’s Internet traffic. There are just over 4 billion IPv4
addresses. While that is a lot of IP addresses, it is not enough to last forever.
Address Size : 32 Bit
Address Format: Dotted Decimal Notation:199.43.0.202
2^32 = 4 billion addresses

IPv6
IPv6 is a replacement for IPv4. It was started in 1999 and provides far more IP addresses, which should meet the need well into the future.
Address Size: 128 Bit
Address Format: Hexadecimal Notation:2001:500:4:1::80
2^128 = ~16 billion-billion addresses
