	IPv4 is the original implementation. Gradually everyone is trying to go to IPv6 which has way more potential addresses. With this new version every electronic device in the world is supposed to be able to get an IP address assigned. IPv6 supports techniques like [[multicast]], [[anycast]], <abbr title="Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol">DHCP</abbr> and [[IPsec]] natively.		IPv4 is the original implementation.
