摘要:IPv6 is being the new replacement for its predecessor IPv4, IPv6 has been used by most Internet services and adopted by most internet architecture these days. Existing protocol IPv4 reveals critical issues such as approaching exhaustion of its address space, continuous growth of the internet and rising new technologies lead to increasing the complexity of the configuration, etc. To healing from the limitations of IPv4 Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) developed the next generation IP called IPv6. Jordan, like many other countries, is endeavoring to adapt and transit from IPv4 to in an efficient way that will provide an excellent level of service as coveted by its citizens. In this study, the author tried to navigate IPv6 concept from the literature and review the thoughts, steps, and challenges that the Jordanian government pursued in transiting from IPv4 to IPv6.
