Today’s Internet is being gradually replaced by tomorrow’s Internet. Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) is slowly being supplemented by Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), a newer, more robust suite of protocols and standards designed to dramatically increase the pool of global IP addresses, simplify network administration, resolve security and mobility issues, and improve Quality of Service (QoS). Services providers around the world are starting to examine new IPv6 equipment and explore the implications of the changes to come. This White Paper defines and describes IPv6, explores the advantages of the new protocol, and introduces D-Link’s new IPv6 and IPv4 compliant solutions. |
