The Internet is constantly evolving, and one of the most significant changes in recent years has been the adoption of IPv6. IPv6 is the successor to IPv4, a protocol that has been used to route Internet traffic since the early 1980s.

1. What is IPv4?
IPv4 is a 32-bit addressing system, which means it can only accommodate a limited number of unique IP addresses. This has become a problem in recent years as the number of networked devices has skyrocketed.

2. What is IPv6?
IPv6 is a 128-bit addressing system, which means it can support an almost unlimited number of IP addresses. This makes it better suited for the future of the Internet.

The transition to IPv6 is still ongoing, but it is progressing rapidly. Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have begun to offer IPv6 connections, and more and more devices are beginning to support IPv6.
