|
32-bit addresses could not accommodate the increased size and amount of data traveling on the Internet as it has grown
|
|
|
IPv6 will allow problems with IPv4’s address hierarchy to be resolved
|
|
|
IPv4 proved unreliable in some cases where network redundancy could not be ensured
|
|
|
32-bit addresses could not ensure that every internet-connected device can receive a unique IP address
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The world is currently in a transition using IPv6, a newer version of the IP protocol that uses 128-bit addresses instead of 32-addresses used by IPv4. What is the main problem that IPv6 was created to solve? 32-bit addresses could not ensure that every internet-connected device can receive a unique IP address.
Detailed explanation-2: -IPv6 was specifically designed to solve address space exhaustion. Experts began to point out concerns about the exhaustion problem even in the 1980s. In addition, shortly after the launch of IPv4, its limitations in terms of scalability and capability became apparent.
Detailed explanation-3: -IPv6 helps make routing more efficient and hierarchical by reducing the routing table size. With the help of ISPs, IPv6 assembles the prefixes of various customer networks and introduces them to IPv6 internet as one common prefix. This makes the process faster and productive.
Detailed explanation-4: -The two technologies that are used when Internet Protocol (IP) v6 traffic travel on an IP v4 network are datagrams and ipv6. A datagram can be defined as a transfer unit that is associated with a packet-switched network.
Detailed explanation-5: -Which problem does IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) help to solve? There are less than 4.3billion IPv4 addresses, which has already been exceeded with existing websites.
