As IPv4 addresses are running out, many organizations are starting to enable IPv6 firewall protection. IPv6 firewall protection is important because IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long while IPv4 addresses are 32 bits long.

Organizations that are running out of IPv4 addresses should enable IPv6 firewall protection to prevent their systems from being accessed by unauthorized users. .

However, some organizations are concerned that enabling IPv6 firewall protection will increase their network traffic. IPv6 firewall protection can block traffic from IPv6 addresses, but it will also block traffic from IPv4 addresses.

If an organization has a large number of IPv4 addresses, enabling IPv6 firewall protection may result in a significant increase in network traffic.

Organizations that are running out of IPv4 addresses should consider their options and weigh the benefits and drawbacks of IPv6 firewall protection before making a decision.
