Question:
What was the reason for the creation and implementation of IPv6?

to make reading a 32-bit address easier
to relieve IPv4 address depletion
to provide more address space in the Internet Names Registry
to allow NAT support for private addressing

Explanation: IPv4 addressing space is exhausted by the rapid growth of the Internet and the devices connected to the Internet. IPv6 expands the IP addressing space by increasing the address length from the 32 bits to 128 bits, which should provide sufficient addresses for future Internet growth needs for many years to come.
