Wednesday was IPv6 day. IP stands for Internet Protocol and the whole term refers to how the internet locates devices connected to it. Of the billion plus devices connected to the internet, it needs to have a way of keeping their information so that it can move information from one to the other just like the Post Office assigns people boxes so that it knows in which one to put a letter. Another way of looking at it is that while a mobile network need not know your name, it must recognise that the phone number you are using belongs to its network and when that number is dialed, the call comes to your phone.
