Line 9: IPng was adopted by the [[Internet Engineering Task Force]] on [[July 25]], [[1994]] with the formation of several "IP Next Generation" (IPng) [[working group]]s.<ref name="rfc1750"/> By 1996, a series of [[Request for comments\|RFCs]] were released defining IPv6, starting with RFC 2460. (Incidentally, [[IPv5]] was not a successor to IPv4, but an experimental flow-oriented [[streaming media\|streaming]] protocol intended to support video and audio.) It is expected that IPv4 will be supported alongside IPv6 for the foreseeable future. However, IPv4-only clients/servers will not be able to communicate directly with IPv6 clients/servers, and will require service-specific intermediate servers or NAT-PT protocol-translation servers. Free Ipv4 ~~adresseses~~addresses will exhaust around 2010, which is within the depreciation time of equipment currently being acquired. ==Features of IPv6==
