1)The number of Internet users increases significantly each year, creating more and more demand for IP addresses. While IPv4 allows for four billion computers on the whole network, IPv6 allows for upwards of 35 trillion interconnected networks.As developing countries work towards bridging the digital divide and increasing their access and connectivity to the Internet, the demand for IP addresses will continue to grow.
2)IPv6 improves the efficiency of the Internet. Simplified packet header information allows for more straightforward and efficient routing of Internet packets. Shorter routing tables are possible because most Internet service providers can receive address space in adjacent blocks, offering greater convenience to their clients and also allowing for a more efficient structure in the Internet’s core routing tables.
3)IPv6 creates opportunities for new types of services that prioritize Internet traffic flows. It is ‘auto-configurable’, meaning devices like laptops, PDAs and mobile phones can be given their own unique IP addresses easily and without delay. This will simplify the installation and maintenance of home, vehicle and small office networks
4)Also,The number of IP addresses available with IPv6 is enormous - 3.4 X 10 to the power of 38 – and will not be exhausted in the foreseeable future!!!!
So..all of these reasons are propelling the shift from IPv4 to IPv6
