    | Introduction 
      The purpose of this tutorial workshop was to provide information to facilitate
      discussion on the requirements for the successful global implementation of the
      Internet Protocol, version 6 (IPv6). The IPv6 protocol is the successor of the 
      current IP routing protocol, called Ipv4. The size of the addressing field in 
      Ipv6 is greatly expanded over that of IPv4, permitting many more devices to be 
      directly addressed than is the case today. IPv6 also provides security features 
      not available today. The workshop discussed the reasons for migrating to IPv6, 
      the costs and benefits involved, the issues associated with the migration, and 
      provided ideas for solution to those issues.
