Скачать или смотреть Computer Networks Distilled: Understanding IPv6 (Ep. 19)

In this episode, we explore IPv6 — Internet Protocol version 6, the modern upgrade to IPv4 designed to meet the growing demands of a connected world. With billions of devices online, IPv6 provides the address space, efficiency, and flexibility needed for the Internet’s future.

We’ll cover:
• The motivation behind IPv6 and the problem of IPv4 address exhaustion
• The structure of an IPv6 datagram and its key header fields
• How IPv6 addresses are represented and simplified using shorthand notation
• The new features IPv6 introduces for performance, security, and scalability
• Why IPv6 adoption has been gradual, and how it coexists with IPv4 today

By the end, you’ll understand how IPv6 expands the Internet’s capabilities — enabling the next generation of networking, from IoT to global-scale connectivity.

🎓 Perfect for: computer science students, IT learners, and anyone interested in the evolution of Internet protocols.
