Abstract

This book is an update and expansion of my 2010 ebook, The Second Internet. That ebook has been available on the main website of the global IPv6 Forum ( ) since 2010 with some 500,000 downloads worldwide. This book is actually still about the new Internet based on IPv6, but since 2010 I have realized that the ARPANET is not phase 1 of the First Internet; it IS the First Internet. That makes the Internet based on IPv4 (still what most people are using today) the real Second Internet, which makes the new Internet being created now, based on IPv6, the Third Internet.
