IP Version 6
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a network protocol that is designed to replace IPv4, the current version of the Internet Protocol. IPv6 was created to address the limitations of IPv4, which is running out of available IP addresses due to the explosive growth of the Internet and connected devices. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses, which provide a virtually unlimited number of unique IP addresses, allowing for the continued growth of the Internet.
IPv6 also includes other improvements over IPv4, such as better security, more efficient routing, and simplified network configuration. It supports larger packet sizes, which can improve network performance, and it includes a feature called “auto-configuration,” which allows devices to automatically configure their network settings without the need for manual configuration.
Despite these benefits, the adoption of IPv6 has been slower than expected, and many networks still rely on IPv4. However, as the number of devices connected to the Internet continues to grow, the transition to IPv6 is becoming increasingly important.
