• Key Concepts: 
  IPv6 is the latest version of the Internet Protocol (IP) and is the successor to IPv4. It is a network layer protocol that provides addressing and routing for packets of data sent over a network. IPv6 is designed to be more secure, efficient, and flexible than its predecessor. It also supports a larger address space, allowing for more devices to be connected to the internet. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use IPv6, you must first configure your network to support it. This includes setting up routers and switches that are compatible with IPv6, as well as configuring your operating system and applications to use IPv6. Once your network is configured, you can begin using IPv6 for communication between devices on your network. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring your network for IPv6, it is important to ensure that all devices are compatible with IPv6. Additionally, you should ensure that all routers and switches are configured correctly in order to ensure optimal performance.
