IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6)

IPv6, or Internet Protocol version 6, is the latest version of the system that assigns unique addresses to devices connected to the internet. Think of it as the internet’s mailing address system, ensuring data reaches the right device. IPv6 provides a vast number of addresses—enough for billions of devices—addressing the shortage of addresses in the previous version, IPv4. It also improves security and efficiency, making internet connections more reliable and faster. In essence, IPv6 helps the growing number of internet-connected devices communicate smoothly and securely.
