You have learned a great deal about the Internet Protocol (IP). IP is a set of rules for how data is sent across networks and arrive at the intended destination. An IP address is a numeric identifier assigned to each device on an IP network. Unfortunately, the internet has finally run out of IPv4 addresses. The good news is that everyone knew this would eventually occur and there is a solution: IPv6.

For this discussion,

Compare the characteristics of IPv4 and IPv6. Discuss any benefits one provides over the other.
