# IPv6
|
||||
**IPv4 has several problems:**
|
||||
- Scarce IPv4 address.
|
||||
- IPv4 header contains fields that are not used by every packet (should be optional)
|
||||
- IPv4 imposes extra processes on routers, the network can become slower (such as fragmentation and checksum calculations)
|
||||
- IPv4 does not provide any security measurement at network layer.
|
||||
|
||||
**IPv6 Format:**
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Most of the mandatory fields of IPv4 header and some of IPv4 options are available trough IPv6 options. (Linked by next header)
|
||||
|
||||
IPv6 provides encryption and authentication features.
|
||||
Routers are not allowed to perform fragmentation.
|
||||
NO Checksum calculations, error checking is already implemented in both data link layer and transport layer.
