To replace IPv4 because IPv4 is too short

|
To replace IPv4 because the ammount of IP address in IPv4 is almost exhausted.
|
|
|
Because newer computer only understand IPv6

To stop connection of non personal computer devices such as smartphones/IPTV

Detailed explanation-1: -The purpose of deploying IPv6 is to ensure network growth and continued interconnectivity when IPv4 address space becomes depleted and difficult to obtain. In addition, as the global Internet continues to expand, it is likely that an increasing number of Internet sites will only be available via IPv6.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is more advanced and has better features compared to IPv4. It has the capability to provide an infinite number of addresses. It is replacing IPv4 to accommodate the growing number of networks worldwide and help solve the IP address exhaustion problem.
Detailed explanation-3: -IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the next version after IPv4. Instead of the 32 bits used by IPv4 for addressing, IPv6 uses 128 bits for the same purpose-which theoretically makes it possible to assign 2 128 addresses-hence, it offers long term solutions to most of the problems that emerged while using IPv4.
Detailed explanation-4: -IPv4 address exhaustion is one of the driving forces to the advent of IPv6. IPv6 is a network layer protocol similar to IPv4. While IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses, IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses which can provide 2128 (or about 3.4x1038) unique IPv6 addresses.
