A Policy Look at IPv6: A Tutorial Paper

Overview IPv6 (Internet Protocol, version 6) was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), starting in 1993, in response to a series of perceived problems, primarily with exhaustion of the current, IP version 4 (IPv4), address space. It arose out of an evaluation and design process that began in 1990 and considered a number of options and a range of different protocol alternatives. The design process was essentially complete, and a protocol specified, in the first half of 1995, although refinement work continues.
