The internet has been around for more than 40 years in some form. It's outgrown its ability to handle all of the hosts and fortunately, there's a solution. IPv6 is mature and wide-spread and not only does it increase the address space to 128-bits (up from 32-bits) it is also more efficient for routing and transferring data across the net and it's better for VOIP and Gaming. In the US, 55% of all internet traffic is over IPv6 and in some other countries it's much higher. You almost certainly are using it in your home network and your cell phone is likely using it as well. In this episode we get into the history of the internet. We'll talk about IPv4 shortcomings and how IPv6 deals with those issues. Hopefully by listening to this episode, you'll come away ready to embrace this technology.
Takeaways
- IPv6 is more prevalent than you might have thought
- IPv6 shouldn't be feared and it doesn't have to be annoying and really isn't terribly complex
- Make sure you have a firewall enabled on your router
- Even if your ISP doesn't provide IPv6 support you can still use it locally
