INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION 6 (IPV6)
In today's generation, the birth of technology is going faster and faster. And in order to connect the people in whole world it uses the internet. It is a system of interconnected computer networks globally that use a standard TCP/IP.
The data transfer by the internet into small packets that independently route into the networks by an international communication protocol knows as the internet protocol. In each pocket data contains two numeric addresses that the source to the destination of devices.

The problem of continues growing of internet is the more addresses needed that IPv4 became collapse. And the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) find a solution for this situation, they develop the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). It is the newest version of the internet protocol (IP) that being designed to succeed the older Internet Protocol version 4 that being used publicly since 1981, and it is the currently foundation for most Internet Communication. It was released and published on December 1998 and described in Internet standard document RFC 2460.
IPv6 is an internet layer protocol for packet switched internetworking and provides end to end datagram transmission across multiple IP networks. It uses the 128 bits addresses, 2128 (approximately 340 undecillion or 3.4 x 1038) addresses space supports. While the IPv4 allows only 32 bit, 232 (4,294,967,296) addresses available.
In this new version it allows for many more devices and users on the internet as well as the extra flexibility in allocating addresses and efficiency for routing traffic. It offers more additional features than the previous edition. It simplifies the aspects of address assignment (stateless address auto configuration) network renumbering and router announcements when changing Internet connectivity providers. It also eliminates the primary need for network addresses translation (NAT), which gained widespread deployment as a effort to alleviate IPv4 address exhaustion.
