Current predictions estimate the life expectancy (given current growth rates) of the Internet address space to be ~5 years. If the growth curve takes another dramatic upswing, this has the potential to become problematic in less time. Several engineering groups within the IETF have been chartered to design solutions to this pressing problem which are referred to as IPng, or Internet Protocol, next generation."

Winsock API.
After a very long time and debate it came up with TUBA - TCP and UDP with Bigger
Addresses.
My how times have changed!
