Intro to IPv6

Anthony Borgert's Summer Project CNT 2453-01

This tutorial is aimed at developing a basic understanding of IPv6 for the new user. The reason IPv6 was created was because of an explosive increase in the number of devices requiring an IP address to communicate on a network and the depleting resources of IPv4 address space. Born out of necessity IPv6 is a solution to this problem, made up of a suite of protocols and standards that where developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
