What is IPv6?

What is IPv6?

Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is a network layer protocol, the successor to the Internet Protocol (IPv4), designed by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force).

In IPv6, a new (but not yet widely used) standard Internet protocol, where 128-bit addresses are wide, which, even with large netblock allocations, should satisfy the near future.

Theoretically, there would be exactly 2128, or 3,403 × 1,038 unique host interface addresses. If the earth were made up entirely of a 1cm³ grain of sand, then a single address could be assigned to each grain in 300 million planets the size of the earth. This large address space will be rarely filled, allowing more routing information to be re-encoded into the addresses themselves.

IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long. Addresses are assigned to individual interfaces on nodes, not nodes in person. A single interface can have multiple unicast addresses. Any of the unicast addresses associated with a node interface can be used to uniquely represent that node. The combination of long addresses and multiple addresses per interface allows more efficient routing compared to IPv4.

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number.

Google AI game recognizes and learns what you draw!

Artificial intelligence (AI) is quite popular nowadays and is being used more and more intensively. Google has, I can say, the most developed so far and is available to end-users (at least one part).

Twitter is celebrating its sixth birthday

Exactly six years ago, one of the founders of Twitter posted his first tweet - " just setting up my twttr ". Although the popularity of this service was modest in the first few years, today Twitter has over 500 million users who send tweets, and messages 140 characters long.

Touch screen on the palm

Researchers have been working for several years to expand the areas that can be used for multitouch panels, and the OmniTouch project, which is being implemented at Carnegie Mellon University , could put this idea into practice. OmniTouch turns body parts and surrounding areas into a touch-sensitive interface .
