Most anyone that considers IPv6 implementation and proposes implementation solutions looks at it in terms of IPv4/IPv6 coexistence. When the IPv6-capable devices in a network are dual stacked, ...

We are entering the transitional period between IPv4 andIPv6, and things are going to get awkward for a while. IPv4 addresses will officially be used up in the next couple of years, although for most ...

The time for IPv4 to IPv6 transition has finally arrived after more than a decade of forewarning. On Feb. 1, 2011, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) allocated the last freely available ...

Global adoption trends, energy efficiency, and coexistence strategies discussed for a smooth transition from IPv4 to IPv6. Rather than a binary all-or-nothing choice between the two protocols, network ...

It would have been so easy if the early Internet and TCP/IP network designers had made IPv6 backward compatible with IPv4. They didn't. In 1981, IPv4's 32-bit 4.3 billion addresses look more than ...

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 ...

Most of us live our digital lives behind a layer of Network Address Translation (NAT), where dozens of devices share a single public IPv4 address at home. IPv6 was officially standardized in 2017, 22 ...

Today is the day IPv6 finally goes live. For as long as there has been an Internet IPv4 has been synonymous with IP and nobody really stopped to think about which version of the protocol it was. But ...

If you are using Internet or almost any computer network you will likely using IPv4 packets. IPv4 uses 32-bit source and destination address fields. We are actually running out of addresses but have ...
