IPv6
| IPv6
or Internet Protocol Version 6 is the next generation protocol for the
Internet. It's designed to provide several advantages over current
Internet Protocol Version 4 (or IPv4). Both IPv6 and IPv4 define network layer protocol i.e., how data is sent from one computer to another computer over packet-switched networks such as the Internet. |

Specifically, IPv6 contains addressing and control information to route
packets for the next generation Internet.We believe that the expansion
of the Internet is important and upgrades are sometimes warranted. Gathering information concering every aspects of IPv6 we would hope to provide knowledge about this technology so everyone can benefit. It is therefore also called the Next Generation Internet Protocol or IPng . |

IPv6 is documented in several RFCs (or request for comments) starting from RFC 2460. Although IPv6 is the successor of IPv4, both protocol versions will continue to be data-oriented protocols for the Internet in the coming years.
