Would appreciate if you can give some practical example of how ipv6 is better than ipv4.
How about ten good reasons? Just Google and do a little bit of light reading.. I have mine enabled on both routers. No issues till date.
The current 4 billion IPv4 addresses are largely exhausted , - making the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 ineluctable. IPv6 is integrated into Microsoft, Linux, Mac and Android OS, as well as in all professional networking equipment. The global Internet backbones and the top domain names servers are IPv6 compatibles too, and ready for the transition. Many countries, including US, China, India, Japan, South Korea and European countries are actively promoting the transition to IPv6. IPv6 brings several advantages, including:
*Scalability with a very large IPv6 address space (2128 addresses), enabling to provide unique and permanent IP addresses to each and every device.
*Address self-configuration mechanisms, (SLAAC) easing and reducing costs of deployment.
*Improved security and authentication features, such as mandatory IPSec capacities and the possibility to use of the address space to include encryption keys.
*End-to-end connectivity with real authentication (NAT free).
*Improved Security (IPSec, etc.)
*Mobility features, enabling a seamless connexion when moving from one access point to another access point on the Internet.
*Multi cast and any cast functionalities.
*Fully Internet compliant with a global deployment and accessibility
More importantly, the on-going work to improve standards and solutions of Internet related protocols and security mechanisms are now focused on IPv6. IPv4 deployments will not benefit from the on-going improvement of the Internet architecture and will face an increasing number of enablers that will become deprecated.
