IPv6 considered for the Smart Grid

  • Articolo

The Smart Grid, a modernization and automation of the United States power grid, will potentially need millions of devices, each with their own address. Due to the relative scarcity of public IPv4 addresses and the complications of using address translators, IPv6 with its large address space for end-to-end connectivity is being considered.
