Till recently, we used the IPv4 version, which provided us with a 32-bit address. But these available addresses will be exhausted soon. The newer version of IP, is the IPv6, on the other hand, offers ...

For the most part, the dire warnings about running out of internet addresses have ceased, because, slowly but surely, migration from the world of Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) to IPv6 has begun, ...

The time is ripe for your business to migrate to IPv6, but you need to keep your new connections safe. Internet Protocol version six (IPv6) is the way that internet communication will be handled for ...

IPv6 offers several ways that aren’t possible in IPv4 to assign IP addresses, and DNS set-up has differences as well. As IP technology has matured, the range of devices that the internet protocol ...

As we reported back in July, the Internet Engineering Task Force has been thinking about ways to make the IPv4 world talk to the (future) IPv6 world. This way, we don't all have to upgrade at the same ...

In the early 1990s, internet engineers sounded the alarm: the pool of numeric addresses that identify every device online was not infinite. IPv4, the fourth version of the Internet Protocol, used ...

“IPv6 is another example of how networks are becoming increasingly hybrid as multiple protocols and technologies must co-exist through lengthy transitions,” said Joe McGarvey, principal analyst for IP ...

In this post, I will explain some of the basics that are easy to understand. Before we discuss the differences between IPv4 and IPv6, we need to know some of the basics of IPv4. Finally, I will ...
