'''IPv6''' was created as a solution to the inevitable threat posed by the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses. The [[IETF|Internet Engineering Task Force]] was involved in its creation as it decided to explore new technologies by expanding the address capability of the Internet. <ref>[http://playground.sun.com/ipv6/ IPv6 and IETF]</ref>IPv6 does not guarantee a sufficient quantity of addresses but it definitely enables an efficient aggregation and allocation of rooting prefixes for routing nodes. | '''IPv6''' was created as a solution to the inevitable threat posed by the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses.
