About this ebook
Anyone who is involved with information technology knows that the Internet is running out of IP addresses. The last block of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses was allocated in 2011. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the replacement for IPv4, and it is designed to address the depletion of IP addresses and change the way traffic is managed.

Examples were a little redundant, but otherwise this was a great summary of IPv6, explaining some facets not covered by many of the other references I've read.
