IP Address crisis- IPv6 comes to the rescue

IPv4 is a 4 bytes or 32 bit internet address,which is widely used today.IPv6 is a 16 bytes or 128 bit internet address,which is going to be standard for next generation IP addresses.Given the increase in the use of mobile devices,sensor devices,internet enabled devices and services we need more and more IP addresses.According to a report published by Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development we have already used up 85 percent of IPv4 address,and by 2011 we are going to run out of IPv4 address.,some countries like Japan,USA,Europe have already taken an initiative to make their network IPv6 compatible.Its about time to move to IPv6 to make your business competitive and current in technology.However some organization are still reluctant to deploy IPv6 given the cost involved in deployment.
