What is IPv6?
Learn how IPv6 works, why it exists, and why it solves IPv4 exhaustion.
IPv6 is the newer version of the Internet Protocol and was designed to solve IPv4 address exhaustion.
An IPv6 address is much longer, for example 2001:db8::1, and provides a massive address space.
It also improves routing efficiency and supports modern networking requirements better.
Why IPv6 exists
The internet grew beyond what IPv4 could comfortably support. IPv6 provides enough unique addresses for the long term.
