New Delhi: Indian Registry for Internet Names and Numbers (IRINN) has started issuing the next version of Internet addresses 'IPv6', which would make it easy for security agencies to identify each Internet user.
The Internet addresses under the present version IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) are limited and service providers often assign single IP address to many users, making it difficult to identify the end user.
"The number of IPv6 addresses available is enormous. ISPs (Internet Service Providers) can allocate an IP address to their users. People can be easily identified if they are using IPv6," APNIC Director (Services and Operations) Sanjaya said at the roadshow for new version IPv6 today. more here = New version of Internet addresses available in India | NDTV.com
