'''IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6)''' is the version of internet protocol which supports the 128-bit [[IP Address|IP addresses]]. It has been developed as the next generation protocol to increase the 4 billion IP Addresses available and it will eventually replace the nearly exhausted [[IPv4]], which supports 32-bit address space.<ref>[http://www.iana.org/about/glossary/ www.iana,org]</ref> IPv6 has been developed to provide advantages over the current internet protocol. It is expected to solve several network problems by eliminating the need for [[NAT|Network Address Translation]] (NAT).
