Kwaziwa iminyaka eminingi ukuthi amakheli we-IPv4 ngefomethi 32 izingcezu (lezo esizisebenzise zonke izimpilo zethu, ukuqonda omunye nomunye) zizophela. Isixazululo esaphakanyiswa futhi samukelwa ngaleso sikhathi bekuwukufuna i-IPv6, indinganiso evuselelwe evumela inani eliphakeme kakhulu lamakheli e-Intanethi, ikakhulukazi ukuqhathanisa ngama-4.294.967.296, 4 (IPv340.282.366.920.938.463.463.374.607.431.768.211.456) uma kuqhathaniswa nama-6. XNUMX (IPvXNUMX).

U-Apple ukuqinisekisile lokho I-OS X El Capitan kuzoba uhlelo lokuqala lokusebenza kweCupertino ku beka phambili ukusetshenziswa yamakheli amasha ngokulandelayo: lapho kutholwa iphakethe le-OS X, lizonikeza isikhathi sama-millisecond angama-25 ukusebenza ne-IPv6 ngqo, futhi uma leso sibali sikhathi sihluleka imodi yokuhambisana iyasebenza futhi lelo phakethe lizosetshenzwa ku-IPv4.
Ngokuya ngezivivinyo abazenzile ku-Apple, kulindeleke ukuthi kumacala angama-99% i-OS X El Capitan (kanye ne-iOS 9) sebenza ne-IPv6, ngenkathi i-1% yezikhathi ezisele zizoqhubeka nokusebenzisa uhlelo lwe-IPv4. Futhi yize kuyinto esobala ngokuphelele kumsebenzisi futhi engenawo umthelela omkhulu ekusetshenzisweni kokugcina, kuyathakazelisa ukuthi i-Apple ifuna ukuba se isikhundla sesigxobo kwe-IPv6.
Ngendlela, lezi zici ezintsha zenziwa kuma-betas asesidlangalaleni asobala, ngakho-ke uma unayo kukhuthazwe ukufaka Ezinguqulweni zangaphambilini, uzobe ususebenzisa le protocol, futhi lokho kusiza i-Apple ukuthi ithuthukise ukusebenza kwayo kokwethulwa kokugcina okuzokwenzeka phakathi kuka-Okthoba noNovemba uma konke kuqhubeka njengokulindelekile.
Lokhu kuyangikhathaza ngoba kuzothinta ukugembula okuku-inthanethi okuncane ku-mac, ukungeza ama-25 ms ekuxhumekeni akubonakali kuwumqondo omuhle, ikakhulukazi uma kungokuzenzakalelayo.
