IPv6 will use 128 bits per address rather than the current 32. The addressing scheme is quite complicated compared to v4 and well beyond a few simple posts.

One range in the v6 world has been proposed to sort of "encapsulate" all the v4 addresses and thus allow the two systems to run side by side.
