Be ready for the IPv6 networking!



The latest technology growing at a much pace and will tend to grow exponentially in upcoming years. Going into more depth it is an IP address standard constructed to replace the leading IPv4 protocol which is leading since the year 1980 for the very purpose of internet traffic routing.

The best thing about this technology is that it allows providing more options of assigning addresses spaces as compared to the IPv4 protocol. As security is the main requirement in any network, hence it provides more encryption than any other protocol configuration. It has not been deployed across the globe globally and only few of the organizations are using it.

Although the future needs more addresses, since the internet connections are increasing at an enormous rate. For about 30 years, 32-bit addressing played a major role and after that IPv4 served and is serving with its fullest but the time needs much more addressing so, one can say that this protocol would surely solve our purpose. Statistics show that only about 0.2% of the internet users have this technology and rest depends upon IPv4 technology only.


Decomposition of an IPv6 address into its binary form.

Top websites and internet service providers including Google, Facebook, and Yahoo Networks joined with more than 1000 other participating websites in World IPv6 Day , which was organized for its successful test with the time this group of users is increasing at a much faster rate.

The best utilization of this technology can be seen from the year 2012 onwards itself.
