IPv6 is compatible with Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and is widely used in production networks.

IPv6 has simplified address headers and supports hierarchical addressing.
|
|
|
IPv6 supports time-sensitive network traffic and a new structure for unicast addressing.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Since IPv6 lacks particular routing protocol support, it relies solely on static routes. As a result, it is less popular than IPv4. In IPv4, widespread use of NAT (Network Address Translation) devices allows a single NAT address to mask thousands of addresses, enhancing end-to-end integrity and performance.
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.
