IPv6 Introduction
IPv6 is an extension of IP with several advanced features:
�¡ Larger address space
�¡ Simpler header
�¡ Autoconfiguration
�¡ Extension headers
�¡ Flow labels
�¡ Mobility
�¡ �gBaked in�h security
Of these, many capabilities have been backported to IPv4. The primary
adoption of IPv6 will be driven by the need for more addresses. Given the
growth in Internet use and the emergence of large groups of Internet users in
developing countries, this is a significant requirement.
