These Internet technologies vary from very complicated tasks to very simple tasks. Therefore, there are needs to connect to the Internet resources. Without Internet, many works are not possible.

With millions of users that are increasing drastically, Internet becomes a very complicated network.

IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) is the solution in overcoming the shortage of IP addresses. In a short duration, IPv6 becomes very popular and it is spread around the world.
