World has been using the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) for the last two
decades. Despite its tremendous success, IPv4 is showing signs of strain
especially in its fast depleting IP address space and its growing security

much more, such as virtually unlimited IP address space to connect everyone and
everything, stateless auto-configuration, seamless mobility, automated network
management, mandated security and new optional service
levels.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
