1.1 IPv6 Overview
Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6), also called IP next generation (IPng), was designed
by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as the successor to Internet protocol
version 4 (IPv4). The significant difference between IPv6 and IPv4 is that IPv6
increases the IP address size from 32 bits to 128 bits. This section covers the following:
