Your company just bought a new subsidiary based in Des Moines, Iowa. Although your local operation already uses IPv6 for local networking and Internet access, the new subsidiary still uses IPv4 only, internally and to access the Internet. What kinds of arguments might you use to persuade your colleagues in Des Moines to switch their network to IPv6 or to enable dual use of IPv4 and IPv6 protocols?

Answer explained below

Explanation:

Following are the arguments that can be used to persuade our colleagues in Des Moines to switch there network to IPv6 or to enable dual use of IPv6 and IPv4:

IPv6 provides an increased capacity of address space as resources are efficiently allocated to provide coverage to additional web addresses. IPv6 provides efficient routing by conveniently aggregating the prefixes that have been assigned to IP networks. IPv6 conserves bandwidth by enabling large data packets. it uses less bandwidth than IPv4 for the same data. IPv6 is more secure than IPv4 due to multiple security layers built in the firewall. It also provides authentication layers and integrity of data. IPv6 supports multicast rather than broadcast. IPv6 has more efficient packet processing and error detection through checksum as compared to IPv4. Address and network configuration is fully simplified and automatic in IPv6 but the same is not true for IPv4. IPv4 supports 32 bit IP address whereas IPv6 supports 128 bit. Therefore more number of IP addresses availability makes IPv6 future oriented.
