IPv6 Overview
This overview of IP Version 6 covers the following topics:
IPv6 Header
The IPv6 protocol defines the header used by IPv6 nodes (hosts and routers) to
deliver a data packet from a sender to one or more destinations.
The
IPv6 header
supplies a 128-bit source address and a 128-bit destination
address for a data packet. The header also includes a flow control field that an
IPv6 host can use to label packets that require special handling by IPv6 routers --
for example, packets that require a real-time service.
