Increasing numbers of devices are connected to the Internet daily: not only computers, but cell phones, cars and many other types of devices as well. This creates a corresponding demand for Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The well publicized exhaustion of IPv4 addresses from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) in early 2011 was a result of this demand, and has led to a growing interest in IPv6 adoption. As IPv4 and IPv6 weren't designed to be compatible with one another by default, the networking community is working to enable communication between the protocols, providing connectivity between the "legacy" IPv4 network and the new IPv6 network...
