The Internet World has been using the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) for the last twodecades. Despite its tremendous success, IPv4 is showing signs of strain especially in its fast
depleting IP address space and its growing security concerns. IPv6 preserves everything good intoday's Internet, and adds much more, such as virtually unlimited IP address space to connect
everyone and everything, stateless auto-configuration, seamless mobility, automated network
management, end to end security and new optional service levels.
