IPv6 deployment
IPv6 deployment refers to the process of implementing the Internet Protocol version 6, which is designed to replace the older IPv4. This transition is necessary due to the exhaustion of available IPv4 addresses, as the growing number of internet-connected devices requires a larger address space. IPv6 offers a vastly expanded address range, improved routing, and better security features.
Organizations and internet service providers are gradually adopting IPv6 to ensure compatibility with modern technologies. The deployment involves updating network infrastructure, software, and devices to support the new protocol. As more users and services transition to IPv6, the internet will become more efficient and capable of handling future growth.
