ipv6 gives more addresses basically, and by more i mean MUCH more...
afaik, IPv4 addresses will pretty much become 'subnets' of IPv6 addresses...

a bit like you can have a small subnet of 20.20.20.1 - 20.20.20.255, ie you have a subnet of 20.20.20.* which gives you 255 addresses...

at least i think that is how the 'integration' will go initially..
