You are using the TCP/IP protocol to connect to Internet. Here IP stands for Internet Protocol specifically used to identify devices on the Internet by giving them an address i.e. IP address, like 59.185.92.168. The IP address can dynamically change on a device, however, it is static during the lifetime of a connection we call it 'Session'.

The IP part of that technology, called IPv4, is running out of addresses, those are about 4.294 billion unique IP addresses. It is not the case that every IP is used up. Rather, due to technical reasons the number of available IP addresses to the ISPs that can be assigned to devices such as DSL modem are dwindling. In order to deal with the situation globally, the telecommunications industry is moving to a new standard, called "IPv6."

Being a responsible ISP, MTNL would like to present some information about IPv6 which as a customer you need to know.
