IPv6 is the second version of the Internet Protocol to be widely deployed, and is expected to form the basis for future expansion (as of 2001) of the Internet, replacing the previous standard, IPv4.
The compelling reason behind the formation of IPv6 was the lack of address space, especially in the heavily populated countries of asia like India and China amng others which do not have enough address space for their use.
