Difference between IPv4 and IPv6
4 - 32bits decimal, used most, can handle NAT hardware
6 - 128bit Hexi-decimal, simple header and larger address space
Why IPv6 has been slow to adopt
4 is most used, is supported by more hardware, and uses NAT
6 - is static only, lacks supported router protocols NAT isn’t supported by hardware
Why was IPv6 needed
IPv4 is running out of Space
How many addresses are available for IPv4 and 6
4 - 340 Trillion, 6 - 4.2 billion

ARIN
American registry of internet numbers
What is ARIN’s role
ARIN’s primary function is the registration of IP addresses and ASNs, collectively referred to as Internet number resources. These resources are delegated in a way to ensure global uniqueness. ARIN also operates directory services which allow the public to determine to whom those number resources are issued.
What is the role of internet registries
Assigns and allocates IP numbers
