The present paper attempts to survey the current state of the network protocol called IPv6; starting from the evolution of IPv4 (which motivated the design of new features) to the details that are comprised in the new version of the Internet Protocol. The main sections explain the drawbacks of IPv4 that can be overcome by implementing IPv6, highlighting aspects such as security, mobility, and Quality of Service (QoS).
