IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) The next generation IP protocol. Started in 1991, the specification was completed in 1997 by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). IPv6 is backward compatible with and is designed to fix the shortcomings of IPv4, such as data security and maximum number of user addresses.Virtually Unlimited Addresses IPv6 increases the address space from 32 to 128 bits, providing for a virtually unlimited (for all intents and purposes) number of networks and systems. It also supports quality of service (QoS) parameters for real-time audio and video. Originally called "IP Next Generation" (IPng), IPv6 is expected to slowly replace IPv4, with the two existing side by side for many years. IPv6 was officially deployed in July 2004 when ICANN added IPv6 records to its DNS root server for the .jp (Japan) and .kr (Korea) country codes. What Happened to IPv5? IPv5 was an experimental streaming audio/video protocol, which had nothing to do with the fundamental structure of IP addressing. See IPv4 address exhaustion and IP address.

Although IPv6 is still viewed as a "future" technology because the limits of IPv4 have not yet been reached, the Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications has announced that "the spread of the IPv6 Internet [the new Internet] is expected to push the value of the information and communications technology (ICT) market from 50 trillion yen in 2001 to 121 trillion yen in 2010 due to major growth especially in the devices and content markets. Hitachi is also a founding member of the IPv6 Forum, a key contributing member of IETF (RFC2767 and Toolnet6), a key sponsor of European IPv6 Internet Exchanges Project (Euro6IX) and an early developer of IPv6 technology. |
