When doing research into IPv6 and finding out how it alone solved the issue of running out of IP addresses, I began to wonder if it would even be possible to run out of IP addresses using IPv6. Due to the number of addresses available from IPv6, it would not be possible to hit that limit any time soon. However, reaching that limit is still possible due to the finite amount. One thing I found funny while researching this is that the amount of possible IP addresses from IPv6 is more than one hundred times the number of atoms on the surface of the Earth. So, it would be likely to run out since there is not an infinite number of IP addresses. Given what we know today, it might be endless due to the near-zero chance it will ever reach that limit.
