Abstract

A modified next-generation Internet Protocol, known first as IPng and then as IPv6, has been under development by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for several years to replace the current Internet Protocol known as IPv4. This paper describes the reasons behind the need for IPv6. of major importance during the development of IPv6 has been how to do the transition away from IPv4, towards IPv6. The work on powerful transition strategies, secure tools and flexible mechanisms has been a part of the basic IPv6 design effort from the beginning. The current transition efforts, taking place at the IETF IPng Transition Working Group (ngtrans) will continue until it is clear that the transition will be successful.
