What is IPv6? Internet Protocol (IP) is the network protocol that underpins the Internet IPv6 is version 6 of the Internet Protocol (IP) The current version (IPv4) was designed in the 1970s and standardized in 1981. IPv4 address space will eventually "runs out“. This will occur at a global level... IPv6 also solves many problems IPv4 such as security, auto-configuration, and extensibility. June 2008

Industry sector like Intelligent Transport System, Digital video broadcasting, smart home consortia have all recommended the use (sometime exclusively) of IPv6.  Convergence to ALL-IP (NGN (Next Generation Networks), FMC (Fixed to Mobile Convergence), Triple Play and Wireless), non computer devices/ embedded devices, sensors, building safety and security all will require IPv6 as network infrastructure.

HP IPv6 support HP is implementing IPv6 support in stages with the goal of ensuring a smooth transition and deployment where IPv6-updated products can take advantage of IPv6, without impacting existing functionality.  HP supports IPv6 across many of its product lines today.  HP platforms support transition mechanisms and gateways to interoperate with IPv4. HP has already delivered IPv6 products across: HP Business Critical Server and ProLiant platforms (HP-UX, Tru64 UNIX®, OpenVMS, NonStop Server, Linux, and Microsoft® Windows)  ProCurve high-end switches through its ProVision ASIC offers full support for IPv6 in hardware; ProCurve Switch series 8200, 6200, 5400 and 3500 HP Enterprise JetDirect and LaserJet printers; HP Business Technology Optimization Network Management Center platform and Opsware Network Automation System software, now called HP Network Automation (HPNA) June 2008
