(Internet Protocol) IPv6 is the next step from IPv4. Currently we are not using IPv6 for our networks but soon it will implemented into our networks normally. IPv6 uses 128 bit spaces for its ip addresses were as IPv4 only uses 32 bit spaces. That means IPv6 can support 2128 addresses. I do not think we will run out of addresses with this version anytime soon.
IPv6 support was first supported in IOS version 12.2T, which was the beta version of 12.3. You need to install the Advanced IP Services to get 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.
All versions of the Linux kernel since 2.0 support IPv6. Most modern distros have IPv6 enabled, but as there are over 300 different distributions, it is impractical or impossible to list all of them.
1. A new DNS was created to allow a domain name to be associated with a 128-bit IPv6 address.
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.

It is currently available in IOS-XR. Check Feature Navigator to track where else it gets implemented.
what is the commercial use of ipv6?
Different transfer information speeds, and support of new technologies like IPv6.
