One of the major protocols of the Internet, the Internet Protocol (IP) of the network layer has posed concern for the major groups managing the Internet since the early 1990s. This protocol handles the addressing techniques on how people/nodes are reached which is more like telephone numbers. Because of the fast growing rate people request for these numbers, there is the fear that the available numbers might be exhausted in the very near feature. An advancement of the earlier protocol has been developed with several additional features in mind and groups of people have been seen to just be migrating to this new protocol. But some issues are still of concern which should be properly looked into to be able to migrate to what is actually a better protocol. Some of these issues have been tabled and weighed here for the various interested groups to have a feel of.
