IPV6 – INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION 6

Digital IT Consulting provides its customers with a new version of the IP protocol – IPv6, which will govern the Internet in the near future.

IPv6 does no longer present the limitations of the former IPv4 protocol, allowing any equipment connected to the Internet to have a public address and not a private one. Thus, the equipment with IPv6 support will be able to be accessed directly, from any point of the Internet where IPv6 connectivity exists.

Here are just a few of the advantages that the new IPv6 protocol offers by comparison to IPv4, the protocol that grounds the current Internet:

• IPv6offers a much larger space for IP addresses, their maximum number increasing from 2³² to 2¹²⁸
• Managing and delegating IP addresses becomes easier, the new protocol bearing more types of self-configuring
• Data security (IPsec) is included in the protocol
• Simplified processing of the packages by the router type equipment
