IPv6 News

What drives smart home or home-automation is smart semiconductor chips, mainly low power microcontroller/processors, wired or wireless networking interface with IPV6 support, and a smart power IC to power both from mains as well as energy harvesting. It can be termed as another big wave in electronics technology. The semiconductor chip vendors are already offering chips, reference designs and support for quick development. CES 2012 was very much witnessing that.

Leading internet firms have set 6 June as the World IPv6 launch day. IPv6 is the new net address system that replaces the current protocol IPv4, which is about to run out of spaces to allocate. Web companies participating in the event have pledged to enable IPv6 on their main websites from that date. The [...]

If you are using Internet or almost any computer network you will likely using IPv4 packets. IPv4 uses 32-bit source and destination address fields. We are actually running out of addresses but have not fear, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is here with IPv6. The IPv6 packet (Fig. 1) doesn’t look much like its [...]
