Fun Fact
IPv6 contains 340 undecillion possible addresses - enough to assign billions of unique addresses to every person on Earth without ever running out.
Historical Context
IPv6 was introduced in the late 1990s as a successor to IPv4 after experts recognized the impending exhaustion of IPv4 addresses. Its 128-bit architecture not only solved address scarcity but also improved routing efficiency, security capabilities, and global internet scalability.
