+ | What is IPv6, and why should I care? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Whenever you use the Internet, you are using an Internet Protocol (IP) - a set of rules for | ||
+ | communication between computers. Internet Protocol Version 6 (or IPv6 for short) is an | ||
+ | upgrade to the most widely available Internet Protocol (version 4, or IPv4). These Internet | ||
+ | Protocols are used to assign each computer with an address (called an IP address) that uniquely | ||
+ | identifies it on the Web and allows other computers to communicate with it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | IPv6 has arrived. Are you prepared? | ||
+ | |||
+ | But IPv4 was designed in 1980, before the explosion of the Internet and the advent of | ||
+ | Internet-connected portable devices like cell phones, tablets, e-book readers, etc. It only has | ||
+ | enough addresses for about 4 billion devices. | ||
+ | and with more people getting connected to the Internet every day, IPv4 simply cannot keep up. | ||
+ | |||
+ | At the current rate of consumption of IPv4 addresses, we will run out in mid-2011. Currently, due to this shortage, any organization building a large new network has no option but to use IPv6. Soon, newcomers will likewise face a choice between IPv6 or no internet connection at all. Moving to IPv6 now will: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Avoid substantial cost increases for IPv4 addresses as they become increasingly unavailable | ||
+ | * Avert expensive last-minute IPv6 deployment, costly in terms of time, energy, wages, and potential errors or security risks; it has been demonstrated that conversion costs are minimal when a planned and careful migration is phased in over an extended period of time | ||
+ | * Maintain your organization' | ||
+ | |||
+ | IPv6 also holds some distinct advantages over IPv4. It: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Provides plentiful addresses, enough so that one need not worry about running out (over 340 trillion trillion trillion!) | ||
+ | * Allows for more flexible network design, potentially translating into savings in design, deployment and operational costs | ||
+ | * Eliminates the need for network address translation (NAT) | ||
+ | * Improves quality of service | ||
+ | * Adds support for address mobility - an address follows a device wherever it goes | ||
+ | * Makes small network setups a breeze | ||
+ | * Improves support for mobile IP and mobile computing devices | ||
