This article will explain in detail what the role of ipv6 is. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Ipv6 is the 6th edition of IP address protocol, its functions are: 1, to completely solve the problem of insufficient IPv4 address; 2, to be able to connect to the network quickly without manual configuration, realizing real plug and play; 3, to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of end-to-end communication in the network layer; 4, to greatly reduce network delay.

IPv6 is the abbreviation of "Internet Protocol Version 6" (Internet Protocol version 6). It is the next generation IP protocol designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to replace IPv4.

We are now using IPv4, and your public network address may be a string of numbers: 59.123.123.123. IPv4 addresses are 32 bits, with a total of about 4.3 billion, even less if you subtract the 192,170 address segments dedicated to the intranet. The IPv6 address is 128bit, about 4.3 billion to the fourth power, the address is extremely rich, almost inexhaustible, the number of addresses claimed to be an address for every grain of sand in the world.

What's the use of ipv6?

1. Thoroughly solve the problem of insufficient IPv4 address

2. It can quickly connect to the network without manual configuration, realizing real plug and play.

3. It ensures the integrity and confidentiality of end-to-end communication in the network layer.

4. IPv6 is more secure and comes standard with encryption options, so the communication between users and servers is difficult to crack.

5. IPv6 can greatly reduce the network delay, which can be reduced from about 100ms to single digits. Low network latency is not only helpful for playing games, it makes long-range drones and unmanned cars feasible.
