Along with developing time, the internet protocol has undergone a development namely the emergence of the internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) and version 6 (IPv6). The emergence of IPv6 itself is based on the prediction that IPv4 will be used up by devices in the world. Because IPv4 only has 32 bits, IPv6 appears that has 128 bits which automatically can provide more addresses.

IPv4 is the 4th generation internet protocol (IP) IPv4 which has a 32-bit bit length, so it can address computers with a total of about 4 billion or exactly 4,294,967,296. IPv4 writing consists of 4 blocks, and each block consists of numbers 0-255. An example of an IP IP4 address is 192.168.100.1. The development of computers, smartphones, and consoles that continues to increase continuously, which then has a direct impact on the needs of the internet address protocol for the purpose of addressing each device to be able to connect to the internet. This problem is the basis for making 6th generation or IPv6 internet. IPv6 was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IEFTF) to overcome problems and replace IPv4.

IPv6 has a total bit length of 128 bits so it can address a computer with a number of 3.4 x 1038. If viewed Ipv6 has a very large amount when compared to Ipv4 to address a device. IPv6 also has better mobility, security and configuration aspects than before.
