IPV6 is being used in most (If not all) Govermental Bodies, ISPs, Large enterprise networks, Some early adopting medium sized networks, and a few lower end networks like the one I am running at home.
IPV6 has been around for a few years now and will take several more for a complete rollout.

What are the uses of ipv6 for commercial?
what is the commercial use of ipv6?
Should ipv4 be disabled when using ipv6?
There is no need to disable ipv4 to use ipv6.
What can you use to identify a ipv6 address?
IPv6 address has 2^128 address and IPv6 address is of 16 bytes and is represented in colon hex notation.
Which statements about IPv4 and IPv6 are correct?
IPV6 is less vulnerable to DNS Spoofing IPv4 addresses use 32 bit or 4 bytes for addressing IPv6 addresses use eight bit segments.
How do you upgrade IPv4 to IPv6?
You don't exactly "upgrade" it; you can configure your computer for IPv6, but continue using IPv4 for a while. Not many servers exist yet for IPv6; if you want to access an IPv4 server, you need to use IPv4 on your side, as well. To use IPv6 on your end, you need to access a server that also works with IPv6.So, basically, you need to:Ask your ISP (Internet Service Provider) whether they have support for IPv6.Ask the ISP how you should configure your computer to work with IPv6. (I am not sure whether there is a standard method that works in most cases - perhaps you just enable it.)Configure your computer.Look around for Web sites that use IPv6. For a start, I believe there is an ipv6.google.com, which you can use for testing your connectivity.You don't exactly "upgrade" it; you can configure your computer for IPv6, but continue using IPv4 for a while.

Does Windows XP support IPv6?
Short answer - yes.You need to be running Service Pack 1 at a minimum.Service Pack 2 has an even more complete IPv6 stack.To enable IPv6 on XP, open a command prompt window and type:C:\> ipv6 /?Did you then see this result?:C:\> ipv6 /?Could not access IPv6 protocol stack - the stack is not installed.To install, please use 'ipv6 install'.If you did get the above result, simply type:C:\> ipv6 installIt will take a few seconds, and then your Windows XP system will be fully IPv6 enabled.
What is the difference between ipv5 and ipv6?
There is no ipv5, just as there are no ipv1, ipv2, and ipv3. Most networks in the world use ipv4 with a few having upgraded to ipv6.
What must you use to span the gap in IPv6 support and access the IPv6 Internet?
IPv6 is not a separate Internet. It is a separate type of address. Machines can have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses simultaneously. Many web servers already do this, and nearly all of the Internet's backbone routers have both types of address. Theoretically, if you are using IPv4 or IPv6, your data will take the same path, across the same hardware, to its destination. However, you may not be able to get an IPv6 address from your Internet Service Provider, perhaps since they are not yet IPv6-ready (often the case with smaller ISPs). In this case, you can setup a 6-to-4 tunnel which connects your IPv6 network inside your home to the IPv4 network of your ISP. Presumably, that ISP will also have a 4-to-6 tunnel allowing your packets to make their way to the IPv6 destination. That being said, if you know the IPv4 address of the same server, you can just use that without the need for IPv6. Only in the rare cases where servers only have an IPv6 address do you need to ensure that your packets come from an IPv6 address, then travel to the destination somehow (directly across an IPv6 network, or using tunnels as described above).
What is the length in bits of a logical IP address IPv4 and IPv6?
32 bits (for IPv4), or 128 bits (for IPv6).32 bits (for IPv4), or 128 bits (for IPv6).32 bits (for IPv4), or 128 bits (for IPv6).32 bits (for IPv4), or 128 bits (for IPv6).
Why we use ipv4 not ipv6?
IPv4 was the first used network addressing scheme from the 1970s. IPv6 is newer and not compatible with version 4. It will take some time to upgrade the software and equipment to be able to fully use v6.
Why is ipv6 not available?
IPV6 is relatively new and doesn't work everywhere yet.
How many bits are used for an IP address in IPv6?
IN IPv6 we can find 128bits.
