IPv6
Why IPv6 is Faster and How to Implement It: X-COM's Experience
IPv4 and IPv6 are essential components of the Internet, enabling data transfer between devices on a network. IPv4 became the primary addressing standard for the Internet during its time. However, with the increasing number of connected devices, its 32-bit address space proved insufficient to meet modern demands. To address this limitation, IPv6 was introduced, providing a significantly larger address space (128-bit addresses) and new features such as built-in security support, improved Quality of Service (QoS), auto-configuration, and many others.
“From where you didn't expect”: how IPv6 can compromise networks
The EUI-64 standard is to be blamed. It became a legacy category, but is still used by IoT-device developers (but not limited to). We explain what the matter is here.
The End of IPv4 addresses — Exhaustion Timeline
According to the forecast by Geoff Huston, the chief engineer-researcher of the APNIC Internet registrar, the pool of IPv4 addresses will be completely exhausted in 2020.

We have already considered the experiences in the implementation of IPv6 and briefly mentioned possible challenges telecommunication operators might face at this stage. Let us consider them in more detail.
IPv6: technology of the future or the present
Message exchange, watching video files, listening to music, and much more is impossible without using network protocols. Let’s consider the problems and prospects of IPv6.
