Right time to move towards IPv6.

           Computer users must know that to access the Internet they need a unique address for the identification among the large pool of devices for that IP (Internet Protocol) address is used. We are now managing with IPv4. Recently there has been a news that IPv4 is getting exhausted.

            Few days back there has been a report from #ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers) who provides a unique IP address to vendors or ISPs (Internet Service Providers) about the exhaustion of the IP addresses.

            They released a statement that they are running out of IPv4 address and the ISP are left with few options such as 

1. Only limited amount of IP blocks can be provided.
2. They can make use of IP addresses from other organisations that does not use them.
3. They can join the waitlist.

             North America is facing the difficult situation with the exhaustion of the IP addresses and it is the right time to move towards IPv6.

             IPv4 can serve billions of devices and the migration towards IPv6 has been proposed since 2011 and IPv6 was developed two decades back in 1998 and they are having the capacity to serve trillion trillion of devices.

              Not only the exhaustion of IPv4 needs the migration there is a rapidly emerging technology known as #IoT (Internet of Things) where are the devices (Fan, Grinder, Light etc.) are connected to the Internet.

               IoT needs enormous amount of IP address to serve the needs and so the migration towards the IPv6 is becoming a mandatory needs.
