Ipv6 World

As the global IPv4 address to be "within the next few weeks" used up, the industry generally believe that depleted in advance will accelerate the development of IPv6 IPv4 addresses, IPv6 is currently the only viable way to resolve IP address shortage.

Since last year, telecom operator China Telecom and China Mobile has launched pilot work in IPv6.

"Father of the Internet" wendun·SEFU is now the United States Google Vice President and Chief Internet consultant, in 1977, he created the Internet communication protocol "IPv4", global computer link to each other. IP address is assigned to every computer, website or other networked devices a series of numbers, each IP address is unique.

Prior to this, the Internet Corporation for assigned names and numbers (ICANN) had been expected, the IPv4 address in August 2011, runs out. This expert believes that emphasis today around the world for Internet development, and popularization of intelligent Terminal is a significant cause of depletion of IPv4 addresses to speed up, and the only solution is to replace next-generation IP protocol IPv6.

Shanghai Securities analyst Zhang Tao said, with the present domestic computers and the number of mobile phone users, IPv4 can also support, but with the Internet for the network requirements grow, the IPv4 address is clearly not good enough, IPv6 can be thought of as the development of things for the future development of the necessary network ready.

World-wide transition from IPv4 to IPv6 protocol has been started. It is learnt that the GMT 24 hour starting on June 8, 2011 at 1 will be the first trial day IPv6 protocol system. By then, the Internet search engine Google and social sites "Facebook" (Facebook) and other sites will be the first to start IPv6 protocol systems, testing and analysis platform for users and engineers.
