Conclusion
IPv4 is a protocol that is consists of 32-bits which allows 4 billion devices to be connected. On the other hand IPv6 is 128-bits protocol that allows more than 340 decillion computers to be connected on the internet. IPv6 made to replace IPv4 because of the increasing of the devices that is connected to the internet around the world. In 2020 there will be about 8.4 billion computers will be connected to the internet and this will be double the amount that the IPv4 can be connected with it. But the issue that will appear is that IPv6 can solve the issues that will appear in the future about the network architecture or not.

The importance of the LANs has been made the developing of it is the main purpose to make it easy to setup or upgrade a network. The result of this developing has been made two types of networks, one is wired LAN and the other is wireless LAN.
Protocols of Wired and Wireless LANs
Wired LANs has six types of protocols each type has its own media and topology to setup a network that is using it. These types are Ethernet which is using twisted pair, coaxial, and fiber cables; Fast Ethernet which is using twisted pair and fiber cables; Local Talk protocol is using twisted pair only; Token Ring protocol is using twisted pair cables only; FDDI ring protocol is using fiber cables; and ATM protocol is using twisted pair and fiber cables.(soft, 2017)
On the other hand Wireless LANs are using the IEEE 802.11 family standards to connect networks such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi networks. These standards are using some protocols for example Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access Protocol (WPA).(Роман, 2011) Figure 4 IEEE 802.11 Family standards(Ruetsch,
