Question

The future of the Internet will lie with IPv6. We can all agree it is here, but usage seems to be very low. Why do you think that is and do you think it will increase anytime in the near future? Research the components of the protocol and compare the various TCP/IPv6 layers with the OSI model. The report should also include a section discussing additional functions or components that would be beneficial in IPv6. It might also be useful to compare and contrast IPV4 to IPV6.
