Google On Board With IPv6
http://www.pcmech.com/ article/ google-on-board-with-ipv6/
About a decade ago I read news stories (on the internet of course) that yes, eventually the internet will simply run out of IP addresses. This is because the internet primarily assigns IPv4 addresses. You know them as four numbers separated by periods, such as 192.168.1.100. The solution to the problem is the assignment of IPv6 addresses. More on that in a moment. Google says in somewhere in the year 2011 (which is not that far away) IPv4 space exhaustion will occur according to current predictions. As such, the Google search engine is available right now over IPv6 at ipv6.google.com.
