What is a killer application?
IPv6 infrastructure has been ready.
Market requires killer applications.
What is a killer application?1. Applications for home users?2. Applications for building automation?

Features of IPv6
1. Huge Address Space ----> 4.3×109 (IPv4)>>> 3.4×1038 (IPv6)2. Network Security : ----> IPsec is adapted as a standard module. ----> Secured end-to-end communication3. Plug & Play ----> Auto Address Configuration4. QoS and Real Time Communication ----> Flow-level and Priority-level5. Multicast ----> 1:N Communication6. Mobile IPv6 ----> Mobile device can use the same IPv6 address.
