Re: IPv6
IPv6 in a update to the IP(internet protocol) numbering system, instead of having 4 octets(numbers seperated by dots), you have six, although IPv4(what we use now) uses numbers, IPv6 addresses are represented in Hexadecimal.

The change from IPv4 to IPv6 is having to happen because of more devices needing IP addresses, everything in fact from mobile phones to fridge freezers.

Services like DNS and DHCP will just be updated to cope with IPv6 I should expect.
