Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is a solution to deal with the address space limitation of IPv4 and it is
the most recent version of Internet Protocol. It is intended to replace IPv4. IPv6 is a Layer 3 (Internet
Layer) protocol, which is used on the packet-switched networks and with connectionless communication.
There are 16 bytes (128 bits) for an IPv6 address and the address space is up to 2
128
unique addresses.
The IPv6 address is usually represented in hexadecimal digits, 8 groups of 4 digits, and each group is
separated by a “:” (colon). For example, the DNS server address in IPv6 is
“2001:4860:4860:0000:0000:0000:0000:8888”.
