Summary
The IPv6 suite of protocols is a revision of the Internet Layer protocols of the current TCP/IP protocol suite and replaces IP, ICMP, IGMP, and ARP. IPv6 attempts to solve the problems of IPv4 with efficient and plentiful addressing, a streamlined Internet Layer header that is easier for routers to process, and more efficient neighboring node interaction.
