WHY:  IPv6 will have a profound impact on the global marketplace
for networked devices, telephony and wireless network expansion. The
growing number of Internet hosts and Internet enabled devices has
created an exponential demand for IP addresses that will eventually
consume the current IPv4 address space. Additionally, as the Internet
becomes increasingly intertwined with the nation's economy and
critical network infrastructure, end-to-end security and privacy
become even more paramount. IPv6 was specifically designed by the IETF
standards board to not only provide sufficient address space to
support the next generation of connected devices, but also to enable
improvements in networking connectivity, reliability and security.
