Internetprotokollapinoissa
Internetprotokollapinoissa, also known as "Internet Protocol version 6" or IPv6, is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol (IP), the set of rules governing the format of data sent via the internet or local network. Introduced to address the limitations of its predecessor, IPv4, IPv6 offers several improvements and new features. One of the most significant advantages of IPv6 is its expanded addressing capacity. IPv4 uses a 32-bit address scheme, which allows for approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses. In contrast, IPv6 uses a 128-bit address scheme, enabling a vastly larger number of unique addresses, estimated to be 340 undecillion (3.4 x 10^38). This expansion is crucial given the rapid growth of internet-connected devices.
IPv6 also introduces streamlined header formats, which improve routing efficiency and reduce the complexity of network
The transition from IPv4 to IPv6 has been gradual and ongoing. Many networks and devices still use
