An essential catalyst for the Next-Generation Internet is the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), which will provide an evolution to a more pervasive use of the Internet and networking in general. The current Internet, using IPv4, is insufficient to support the business and operational preconditions for peer-to-peer applications and security, billions of mobile devices, sensor networks, and the requisite distributed computing infrastructure to support a mobile society. The “band aids” applied to permit the current Internet to keep it operating has created additional operational costs and reduced operational capabilities for users and networks.
