IPv6 was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to deal with the long-anticipated problem of IPv4 address exhaustion, and was intended to replace IPv4. [1] In December 1998, IPv6 became a Draft Standard for the IETF, [2] which subsequently ratified it as an Internet Standard on 14 July 2017. [3] [4]
IPv6 was designed as the successor protocol for IPv4 with an expanded addressing space. IPv4, which has been in use since 1982, is in the final stages of exhausting its unallocated address space, but still carries most Internet traffic. [1]
An Internet Protocol version 6 address (IPv6 address) ... 96 bits set to zero, while its last 32 bits are the represented IPv4 address. In February 2006, ...
All the RIRs have set aside a small pool of IP addresses for the transition to IPv6 (for example carrier-grade NAT), from which each RIR can typically get at most 1024 in total. ARIN [37] and LACNIC [38] reserves the last /10 for IPv6 transition. APNIC, and RIPE NCC have reserved the last obtained /8 block for IPv6 transition.

The result was a redesign of the Internet Protocol which became eventually known as Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) in 1995. [3] [4] [5] IPv6 technology was in various testing stages until the mid-2000s when commercial production deployment commenced. Today, these two versions of the Internet Protocol are in simultaneous use.

The original DARPA Internet Protocol's RFC describes [1]: §1.4 TTL as: . The Time to Live is an indication of an upper bound on the lifetime of an internet datagram.It is set by the sender of the datagram and reduced at the points along the route where it is processed.
