IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6)

IPv6 is a new version of IP which is designed to be an evolutionary step from IPv4 (commonly referred to simply as IP). It can be installed as a normal software upgrade in Internet devices and is interoperable with the current IPv4. Its deployment strategy was designed to not have any "flag" days. IPv6 is designed to run well on high performance networks (e.g., ATM) and at the same time is still efficient for low bandwidth networks (e.g., Wireless Interfaces). In addition, it provides a platform for new Internet functionality (such as resource reservation capabilities) that will be required in the near future.
