What is IPv6 Addressing

IPv6 Addressing, or Internet Protocol Version 6 addressing, the successor to IPv4, refers to a system of assigning numerical labels to devices on a network so that a device can be uniquely identified. IPv6 addressing enables routing of data between network devices. IPv6 addressing, embedded in packets of information that pass through network routers, allows routers to determine a packet's path forward.
