What is IP v6?
When IP v4 was originally developed in the 1970s, it was thought 4.2 billion unique Internet addresses would be more than enough. But with the increase in the next generation and wireless technologies in the coming decade means that unique IP v4 addresses will all be claimed sooner than expected. China has been allotted only 20 million unique IP v4 addresses and many other Asian countries have much less. The next generation IP is IP v6 and it could provide each human being on the planet with millions of unique IP v6 addresses. The new features of IP v6 include enhanced routing, security and support for wireless devices.
