Answer:

Address space exhaustion

Step-by-step explanation:

IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) was introduced in 1995. This model is faster and safer than the previous models due to the modifications done on it.

It was however introduced with the main aim of addressing space exhaustion. IPv4 addresses were already getting scarce and a new model had to be introduced to bridge the gap. IPv4 has billions of addresses however IPv6 has multiples of trillions addresses to take care of current and future needs.
