The Internet Engineering Task Force adopted the IPng model on 25 July 1994, with the formation of several IPng working groups. [7] By 1996, a series of RFCs was released defining Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), starting with RFC 1883. (Version 5 was used by the experimental Internet Stream Protocol.)
The deployment of IPv6, the latest version of the Internet Protocol (IP), has been in progress since the mid-2000s. IPv6 was designed as the successor protocol for IPv4 with an expanded addressing space.
The Internet Protocol that finally emerged was assigned version number 6, being the lowest free number greater than 4. The PIP protocol and TUBA protocol used versions 8 and 9, following version 7 for TP/IX. In 2004, an IPv9 protocol was developed in China using 256-bit addresses.

The Internet protocol suite is therefore often referred to as TCP/IP. The first major version of IP, Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), is the dominant protocol of the Internet. Its successor is Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), which has been in increasing deployment on the public Internet since around 2006. [1]
An IPv6 packet is the smallest message entity exchanged using Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). Packets consist of control information for addressing and routing and a payload of user data. The control information in IPv6 packets is subdivided into a mandatory fixed header and optional extension headers.
The 6bone was a testbed for Internet Protocol version 6; it was an outgrowth of the IETF IPng project that created the IPv6 protocols intended to eventually replace the current Internet network layer protocols known as IPv4. The 6bone was started outside the official IETF process at the March 1996 IETF meetings, and became a worldwide informal ...
Internet Protocol Version or IPV is a version of the Internet Protocol that can be one of the following: Internet Protocol version 4; Internet Protocol version 6; These are called IP addresses and are made up of binary values. The Internet Protocol Version 4 runs at 32 bits long, while the Internet Protocol Version 6 runs at 128 bits long.
