A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a group of spatially distributed, independent device that collects data by measuring physical or environmental conditions. Some of the conditions being measured are: temperature, pressure, moisture, position, usage information, lighting, and sound. These readings, in the form of data, are passed through the network, are collated and organized; and then delivered to the end user. WSNs are already in use for many applications like industrial process monitoring and control, electricity system controls, and human health monitoring. Traditionally, these WSNs tend to need a lot of power to function, but decreasing the power needs of the system increases the lifetime of the sensor devices, and creates space for battery-powered applications. Battery-powered devices allow for wide-ranging use cases and opens opportunities for lower-ROI applications. In this paper, some applications and challenges of wireless sensor network (WSN) in remote sensing and monitoring were x-rayed. It was observed that irrespective of some of challenges being faced by this sensor network, its applications are very useful and find wide coverage in modern day remote sensing.

Due to recent concerns over the impending depletion of the current pool of Internet addresses version 4 and the desire to provide additional functionality for modern devices, an upgrade of the current version of the internet protocol (IP), has been defined. This new version, called Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), resolves unanticipated IPv4 design issues and takes the internet into the 21^st Century. This paper describes the problems of the IPv4 Internet and how they were solved by IPv6, IPv6 addressing, the new IPv6 header and its extensions. It provides a foundation of Internet standards-based IPv6 concepts and is intended for network engineers.
