Classic Tech; first ISP implementing IPv6 technology in Nepal

IP stands for Internet Protocol and v6 stands for version Six. It is the most recent version of IP.

Internet Protocol (IP) is the set of rules on the Internet for routing and addressing packets of data across the network.

It is the fourth version of IP. It is still the most used version of IP.

– An IPv4 has a 32-bit addressing scheme
An IPv6 has a 128-bit addressing scheme

-Address representation of IPv4 is in decimal
-Address representation of IPv6 is in hexadecimal

– IPv4 Supports DHCP and Manual address configuration
– IPv6 supports Renumbering and Auto address configuration

– Limits net growth for existing users
– Hinders the use of the internet for brand new users.
– Inefficient Internet Routing
– High System Management prices
– Complex, slow & frequent to errors.
– Inefficient Security features

– Efficient Routing
– Efficient Packet Processing.
– Directed Data Flows
– Simplified Network Configuration
– Support for New Services
– Security.

– Conversion: usage of IPv4 is high so it will take a long period to completely shift to IPv6.

-Communication: IPv6 and IPv4 machines cannot communicate directly with each other without using intermediate technology.

 The IP address is a decimal number that defines the routing information of the Internet user in the network.
