"Clearly the Internet needs more IP addresses. How many more, exactly?
Well, how about 340 trillion trillion trillion (or,
340,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)? That's how many
addresses the Internet's new "piping," IPv6, can handle. That's a number
big enough to give everyone on Earth their own list of billions of IP
addresses. Big enough, in other words, to offer the Internet virtually
infinite room to grow, from now into the foreseeable future."

In IPv6, it's normal for ISP clients to get whole large subnets of IPv6
address space for their own usage. Suppose you get /32, which gives you
4 billion addresses and you're quite likely only going to use a few of
them. Finding your subnet alone would be rather difficult to do randomly
and then one'd also need to find your host. That's way less likely to
happen than winning latest Powerball [1].
