IPv6 will change many things in different areas, because it is faster, more efficient and more scalable than IPv4: With the large address space, the autoconfiguration possibilities, the extensibility provided by the extension header architecture and the advantages of Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6), it will become the foundation for new services of all different types; many of them we cannot possibly imagine yet. But as the past years have shown new types of applications appear and flood the world almost over night. So watch out and get ready.
