The key difference between the versions of the protocol is that IPv6 has significantly more address space. Users should not be aware of any difference.

The addresses do look DIFFERENT however. A typical IPv6 address has 8 GROUPS of four LETTERS and numbers separated by colons so it looks like this: 2001:db8:1f70:999:de8:7648:6e8|

The expanded addressing capacity of IPv6 will enable the trillions of new Internet addresses needed to support connectivity for a huge range of smart devices such as phones, household appliances and vehicles.

IPv6 also brings enhanced quality of service that is required for several new applications such as IP telephony, video/audio, interactive games or ecommerce.
