IPv6
Following adds this technology to your private workspace so related learning is easier to organise and revisit.
What is IPv6?
Internet Protocol version 6 is the successor to IPv4, using 128-bit addresses and redesigned neighbour and configuration mechanisms. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.
IPv6 removes practical global-address scarcity and supports stateless address configuration, multicast-based neighbour discovery and simplified headers. It does not remove the need for firewalls, DNS, routing policy or careful dual-stack transition planning.
Provide scalable addressing and packet routing for modern networks.
- Global address expansion
- Stateless auto-configuration
- Modern network routing
