Topics:

Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is the second generation of the standard network layer protocol, also known as IP Next Generation (IPng). IPv6 not only solves the problem of insufficient IPv4 address space, but also makes some improvements based on IPv4, such as introducing extension headers to increase the protocol scalability and providing built-in security to address network security issues.

IPv6 can provide wider connectivity for the Internet and IoT to realize the Internet of Everything, create digital infrastructure, and promote innovation in new applications and fields such as IoT, industrial Internet, and artificial intelligence. With the rapid development of emerging fields such as 5G and IoT, IPv6 has gained a broader space for development.

This document describes IPv6 advantages, extension of IPv6-based application protocols, and direction of IPv6 development (IPv6+), and provides common IPv6 deployment solutions to help users understand and deploy IPv6.
