    IPv6 is a newer numbering system that provides a much larger address pool than the previous version (IPv4) as more devices connect to the internet and IP addresses are running out. Adopting IPv6 allows networks to expand without overburdening internet infrastructure and ensures future access to large contiguous blocks of IP addresses. Preparing a network for IPv6 may require upgrading equipment and software, encouraging vendors to support IPv6, and training IT staff. Costs can include obtaining IPv6 addresses and connectivity, upgrading devices and tools, and staff training, but allow continued growth of internet-reliant networks and services.
