Benefits offered by IPV6 transition
This article speaks about the features of the IPV6 network. Through the discussion of features, it explains the benefits offered to the user of IPV6.
The IPV6 transition has been a boon to the world today. These benefits after IPV6 are discussed in the article below. The first benefit that it provides is efficient routing. The routing tables in IPV6 are reduced in size and makes for the hierarchy and efficient routing. It does everything possible to make sure efficient routing is provided to the user including the fragmenting at source device. The packet processing is another benefit that the IPV6 provides. The features of this packet are simplified making the processing efficient to a higher level. When you compare the IPV4 and IPV6, there is no IP-level checksum. This provides for easy calculation for all the routers at the same time.
Broadcast was a feature of the IPV4, which is now taken to a higher level, known to be multicast in the latest version of IPV4? The difference between the broadcast and the multi cast is that the latter allows the bandwidth and the intensive packet flow to be sent to many destinations at the same time, thereby saving the bandwidth of the network used. IPV6 has a header has a new area which can identify various packets which belong to the similar flows. Simplified network configuration is the next most important feature offered by IPV6. Earlier, the network configuration from the server to the host was complicated but with the introduction of IPV6, the method is simplified and error free.
The IPv6 Transition eliminates the use of network address translation. This enables the new and valuable services to get support from the IPV6. Peer-peer networks are simpler to make and also take very little effort in maintenance. Thus, there services have become more demanding. Security is the next best feature that the IPV6 provides for its user. When he makes use of this service, he can expect the secrecy, authenticity and data integrity. With the IPV4 many corporate firewalls and securities could block them. This is not the case with IPV6 as security is a part of IPV6. Thus, the IPV6 is a much more advanced level than the previous version of the same.
