What is Internet Protocol version 6?
Internet Protocol Version 6 is the next generation protocol for the Internet. It's designed to provide several advantages over current Internet Protocol Version 4 (or IPv4). IPv6 is 128 bit it is used Hax and IPv4 is 32 bit.
Both IPv6 and IPv4 define network layer protocol i.e., how data is sent from one computer to another computer over packet-switched networks such as the Internet.
Therefore, it is now possible to support 2^128 unique
IP addresses, a substantial increase in number of computers that can be addressed with the help of
IPv6 addressing scheme.

IPv6 Alternative
- An alternative being developed to solve the problem of diminishing IPv4 addresses is called IPv6. Instead of being in the format of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, it offers much longer addressing, which works out to 3.4 x 10^38 different possible combinations under the newer standard. It has not seen widespread adaptation; IPv4 is still the dominant standard for Internet protocol addressing.
