IPv6 is the successor to our current internet protocol, IPv4. It offers many new features, including a vastly increased address space (128 bits of address vs. IPv4's measly 32 bits), easier ...

In the early 1990s, internet engineers sounded the alarm: the pool of numeric addresses that identify every device online was not infinite. IPv4, the fourth version of the Internet Protocol, used ...
