First ISP to implement IPv6 technology in Nepal
Classic Tech has been testing internet services based on IPv6 technology in Nepal since 2016 and for 3 months they are shifting users to this technology.
For now, 80% of customers of Classic Tech have already been migrated to IPv6. Due to this Classic Tech becomes the first ISP to implement IPv6 technology in Nepal.
What is IPv6 ?
u003cstrongu003eIPu003c/strongu003e stands for u003cstrongu003eInternet Protocolu003c/strongu003e and u003cstrongu003evu003c/strongu003e6 stands for version Six. It is the most recent version of IP.
What is IP ?
Internet Protocol (u003ca href=u0022https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Protocolu0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 aria-label=u0022IP (opens in a new tab)u0022 rel=u0022noreferrer noopeneru0022 class=u0022rank-math-linku0022u003eIPu003c/au003e) is the set of rules on the Internet for routing and addressing packets of data across the network.
What is IPv4?
It is the fourth version of IP. It is still the most used version of IP.
IPv4 vs IPv6
– An IPv4 has a 32-bit addressing schemeu003cbru003e An IPv6 has a 128-bit addressing schemeu003cbru003eu003cbru003e-Address representation of IPv4 is in decimalu003cbru003e-Address representation of IPv6 is in hexadecimalu003cbru003eu003cbru003e- IPv4 Supports DHCP and Manual address configurationu003cbru003e- IPv6 supports Renumbering and Auto address configurationu003cbru003eu003cbru003e
Disadvantages of IPv4
– Limits net growth for existing usersu003cbru003e- Hinders the use of the internet for brand new users.u003cbru003e- Inefficient Internet Routingu003cbru003e- High System Management pricesu003cbru003e- Complex, slow u0026amp; frequent to errors.u003cbru003e- Inefficient Security features
What are the benefits of implementing IPv6?
– Efficient Routingu003cbru003e- Efficient Packet Processing.u003cbru003e- Directed Data Flowsu003cbru003e- Simplified Network Configurationu003cbru003e- Support for New Servicesu003cbru003e- Security.
What is disadvantage of IPv6?
– Conversion: usage of IPv4 is high so it will take a long period to completely shift to IPv6.u003cbru003eu003cbru003e-Communication: IPv6 and IPv4 machines cannot communicate directly with each other without using intermediate technology.
What is IP address?
The IP address is a decimal number that defines the routing information of the Internet user in the network.
