IPv6 is version 6 of the Internet Protocol. IPv6 is intended to replace the previous standard, IPv4, which only supports up to about 4 billion (4 × 109) addresses, whereas IPv6 supports up to about 3.4 × 1038 addresses.
IPv6 is the second version of the Internet Protocol to be widely deployed, and is expected (as of 2001) to form the basis for future expansion of the internet. In 2003, Nihon Keizai Shimbun (as cited in CNET Asia Staff, 2003) reported that Japan, China, and South Korea claimed to have made themselves determined to become the leading nations in internet technology, which would partially take the form of jointly developing IPv6, and completely adopting IPv6 starting in 2005.
The compelling reason behind the formation of IPv6 was lack of address space, especially in the heavily populated countries of Asia such as India and China
