And, as usual, you are wrong because you know absolutely nothing about
what you're talking about.

For the record, IPv4 and IPv6 refer ONLY to the number of bytes in the
IP address. They have NOTHING to do with the protocol itself, how often
IP addresses change or your lack of intelligence.

And IPv4 was heavily used by Arpanet back in the 1960's - which would
have been VERY hard to do if it hadn't been invented until 1981.

And finally, I never hear anyone (except you) use IP to refer to an
address. Everyone else uses the term "ip address" - which is correct.
