Internet Protocol Version 6 - IPv6 backbone or 6bone. IPv6 provides 128-bit address space rather than 32-bit with the current IPv4. This is 340 billionbillionbillionbillion (3.4 x 10^38) internet addresses rather than the current 4.3 billion which are in short supply.

Q: What is "6bone"?
A: The word "6bone" stands for "IPv6 backbone".
The 6bone is an experimental worldwide network for testing interconnectivity of IPv6 implementations, checking if
IPv6 really works well or not in actual situation, and so forth.
The world 6bone is made up by several regional 6bones. For example, there's a 6bone for Japan region
called the WIDE 6bone, which is connected to the world 6bone. Although most of the regional 6bones are made
possible by using IPv6-over-v4 tunnelling technology, some part of them are made of IPv6-dedicated leased line.
(one of them is the WIDE 6bone operated by the WIDE project in Japan)

There are 6 billion people in the world but only 4.3 billion unique Internet
addresses, not enough to go round if everyone had one, plus in the future you might need an
address for each device and mobile phone etc.
The reason is because the founders of the Internet did not anticipate its enormous growth.
At present this shortage means that many people who login to the Internet are
given temporary or rotating addresses from a common pool. Consequently, most people with a permanent
connection cable modem say, and domain name(s), cannot easily set up their own server since their
address keeps changing.
IPv6 will solve these problems allowing in my estimate 67 billionbillion addresses per square centimeter of the planet.
This is calculated using 6371 km as the average radius of the earth and the following Javascript formula:-
Math.pow(2,128)/ (4*Math.PI* Math.pow(6371*100000,2))
