Tiivistelmä
The subject of the thesis came up when the author was working on the development of an IoT device.
While being a very stable and currently standard Internet protocol, the limitations of IPv4 could limit the potential of IoT devices. IPv6 with all its benefits would be the future protocol and could solve the problem of IPv4. However, the adoption of IPv6 is slow because of the cost, the incompatibility and the lack of knowledge of IPv6.
By researching about IPv6 and comparing different transition scenarios and alternative solution, the author believes that the knowledge will benefit for the author’s career in the future as an Internet of Things developer, a web application developer and a Development Operations (DevOps) engineer.
