The Third Wave of the Internet: Scaling the Web with IPv6 and HTTP
: In IPv6, routers no longer fragment packets; that responsibility lies with the sending host. This creates a more predictable path for HTTP-based data delivery , reducing the "jitter" that can plague real-time web applications. 2k ipv6 HTTP Part 3.txt
: IPv6 natively supports anycast and multicast, allowing HTTP content delivery networks (CDNs) to route users to the geographically closest server more efficiently than was possible under the rigid unicast constraints of early IPv4. 3.

addresses. This expansion is essential for the Internet of Things (IoT) , where billions of sensors, vehicles, and household appliances require unique, globally routable identities without the complexity of Network Address Translation (NAT). 2.
