Abstract:In addition, the exhaustion of IPv4 address space and the increasing need for connective devices made the evolution of Internet Protocol address from IPv4 to IPv6.N The process calls for an all-inclusive explanation involving the relevant technologies as well as the strategies involved in this transition. The paper takes a look at the changing face of IP addressing, looking at the flaws inherent in IPv4 and why IPv6 makes for an interesting upgrade scenario. The paper critical reviews some of the migration strategies such as dual-stack deployment, tunneling and NAT-PT pointing out there advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, this paper highlights on the major obstacles experienced during the transition like technology complications, cost implicati ons, and scattered implementation. In the last part, it offers possible measures as well as proposals towards a seamless and successful transiti on to IPv6 future of the internet. By analyzing the case studies, this paper will contribute to our global understanding surrounding the ever-changing environment of IP address allocation, providing meaningful information to scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in the process.
