ARIN has hosted a site that facilitate discussions and sharing information on IPv6 topics and issues.
Inorder to know the needs of IPv6, we need to know the depletion of IPv4. When IPv4 became the Internet standard, the 4.2 billion possible IP addresses were never intended to house a global internet. It was in 1981, there were only a limited number of computers that needs to be connected to the internet. Nowadays, in addition to every computer, nearly every single cellular telephone and gaming console is connected to the internet. According to the Number resource organization, only 10% of the space is remained in the IANA (Intenet assigned Numbers Authority) free pool as of beginning of 2010.
Why IPv6? The solution to the IPv4 depletion is simple. Developing a more robust numbering system will allow far more IP addresses. The IPv6 holds 340,282,366,920,938,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 IP addresses.
