Understanding IPV6 Concerns

Internet Protocol IPv4 has met the demands of the years, but the number of addresses, while Large, finite solution to reduce this problem was the development of new IPv6 protocols using a 128-bit address instead of a 32-bit address. In addition to addressing limitations, IPv6 has several streamlined features. This book is centered on IPv6 deployment in our country India and shows the IPv6 adoption rate by various public & private sector organizations. The entire networking society is tremendously moving towards the IPv6 addressing architecture leaving behind the IPv4 address space. This happens due to the tremendous growth of Internet usage over networking. The government has mandated that all the devices would be IPv6 compatible as the delay in the deployment of IPv6 would result in the negative impact of future growth and global connectivity of the internet. In this book, we have discussed the impact of IPv4 interface, IPv6 interface, and Dual-stack interfaces over wireless networks with varying PHY and MAC layer interface of 802.11 a/g and 802.11 b standards.
