I wanted to start a discussion on IPs, when they will run out, and what will happen afterwards...

When will we run out of IPs? Is IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) going to be the next standard? IPv6 uses a 128-bit address instead of the 32-bit address. Any solution requires backward compatibility, but I am not experienced enough to predict how this inevitable change will take place.
