Internet Protocol Version 6
A 128-bit IP address protocol.
Why was IPv6 created?
To address IPv4 limitations, to solve address exhaustion, and enhance efficiency, scalability, and security.
What does IPv6 stand for?
Internet Protocol Version 6.
What are the benefits of using IPv6?
Larger address space, no use of inefficient broadcasting, no fragmentation, efficient data packet handling, and can coexist with IPv4 using dual-stack, and can use all IPv4 infrastructure.
What is Dual Stack in networking?
The capability of a network device to run both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
What protocols does Dual Stack support?
Both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
How many unique IPv4 address variants are available?
4.3 billion.
What is the biggest reason for IPv4 address exhaustion?
Inefficient use and waste of the address pool in the early days of the Internet.
What does IETF stand for?
Internet Engineering Task Force.
Who started to develop the IPv6 addressing system and when?
The IETF in the mid-1990s.
What is considered the "IP Next Generation"?
IPv6.
How many unique IPv6 address variants are available?
340 undecillion or 2^128.
What happened to IPv5?
Was an experimental protocol that was never adopted as a standard.
What does IPv6 use in place of IPv4's broadcast traffic?
Multicast and anycast.
