IBM Vision for IPv6 in the Era of E-Business on Demand

Overview The Internet today runs on Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), whose address space will inevitably become exhausted, possibly as soon as 2009. Already, users experience significant operational glitches and costs due to ambiguous addressing and the resulting gaps in connectivity. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) will resolve this problem with larger addresses, thus restoring universal connectivity, and bring other benefits such as automatic configuration, improved mobility, and the potential for end-to-end security.

Fly me to the moon (and let us email round the stars)

The idea is intriguing: instead of each space probe using its own way of sending data and receiving instructions, they all use the same protocol. Therefore rely not on end-to-end connectivity at any time, for the universe does not work that way.

Home alone with Bluetooth

Because IPv6 uses 128-bit addressing, compared to the 32-bit IPv4 addressing, many more addresses are available, and mass-produced consumer devices could all make use of unique addresses without any danger of running out of room.
