IPv6 Essentials
- Share to:
The IP version currently used in networks and the Internet is IP version 4 (IPv4). IPv4 was developed in the early ’70s to facilitate communication and information sharing between government researchers and academics in the United States. At the time, the system was closed with a limited number of access points, and consequently the devel‐ opers didn’t envision requirements such as security or quality of service. To its credit, IPv4 has survived for over 30 years and has been an integral part of the Internet revo‐ lution. But even the most cleverly designed systems age and eventually become obsolete. This is certainly the case for IPv4. Today’s networking requirements extend far beyond support for web pages and email. Explosive growth in network device diversity and mobile communications, along with global adoption of networking technologies, new services, and social networks, are overwhelming IPv4 and have driven the development of a next-generation Internet Protocol.
