The latest version of the internet protocol which provides an address to every computer, network device, or net-enabled device. IPv6 went live June 6, 2012. IPv6 makes several changes over IPv4, most of all increasing the number of IPs from 2^32, to 2^128. In laymans terms, it increases the number of IP addresses from around 4 million to an unimaginable number, where there will now be 1000 IP addresses for every grain of sand on the Earth.
