Projeto de implantação do protocolo IPv6 no provedor de acesso a internet

Abstract

Because it is such an old invention (1969) and has its appearance at such a troubled moment (Cold War), the Internet had originally the goal of creating a global communication network where it did not depend on a central node only, but each node could communicate with any other node by any alternative path. Thus destroying one node, the other ones would be able to communicate with each other without any problems. Only in 1983, the TCP/IP protocol would be adopted. A 32-bit address with over 4 billion possible addresses. However, studies on the depletion of IP version 4 arise in the 90s and if it were not for palliative measures, IPv4 would have run out for some time. What at that time seemed almost infinite, is exhausted today. With the emergence of IPv6 (1993), in addition to solving the biggest problem of IP's exhaustion, it still contributes to significant improvements in the network. This project aims to present the positive aspects of the IPv6 protocol and implement them in an existing version current IPv4.
