Nothing new there. The "New" scheme is called IPV6. We are starting a project to convert over from IPv4.

Oh and if you are wondering "Why the sudden jump to IPv6? Why no IPv5?" IPv5, or more commonly reffered to ST or ST2 is an internet streaming protocol that's been around since the late 70's. It has since been superceded by the likes of QoS for applications such as VoIP.
When's the first time you heard that?Quote:
Curran said most internet users won't see any effect from the transition.
I am a nerd. I am proud of that fact.
If most people understood the logistical nightmare to re-IP a network they would have a lot more respect for their ability to effortlessy connect to the internet. There is always someone like me behind the scenes making it all work right.
They want it to "just work"
