With all of the new internet based devices, the experts figured out we (aka the world) were going to run out of addresses real soon, so IPV6 was developed. In this system, the real address for www. some internet site. com would be in a hexadecimal format like this: 3ffe:1900:4545:3:200:f8ff:fe21:67cf the result is better security, and LOTs more addresses.
In any case, if it is done right, it will be transparent to the end user (aka us), if it is done wrong....we will all be pulling our hair out.
Hope this helps. |
It just amazes me how people learn all of this stuff !! Sounds like a foreign language to me. LOL Thanks so much !
