IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) refers to the version of Internet protocol that supports 32-bit IP addresses. This allows for approximately 4 billion unique IP addresses which is not enough to cope with projected Internet demand in the next 5-10 years. A new protocol called IPv6 has been developed that increases the number of possible IP addresses substantially.
