IPv4 is an abbreviation for internet Protocol version 4, which is a 32 bit addressing method.
IPv6 is an abbreviation for Internet Protocol version 6, which uses 128 bits.
IPv4 Mechanisms
32 bits in a IPv4 address
32 bits (for IPv4), or 128 bits (for IPv6).32 bits (for IPv4), or 128 bits (for IPv6).32 bits (for IPv4), or 128 bits (for IPv6).32 bits (for IPv4), or 128 bits (for IPv6).
IPv4 was described in RFC 791 in September 1981.
IPV4 is a kind of IP Address.
Minimal bytes required in IPv4 header are 20 i.e. 20 bytes are mandatory. And total bytes in IPv4 header are 60.
There is no need to disable ipv4 to use ipv6.
Hosts with the same network portion of their IPv4 address.
While IPv6 is based on IPv4, it is superior. The main characteristic that shows its enhancement over IPv4 is that it processes faster.
1. Describe the main features that differentiate IPv6 from IPv4
IP is the internet protocol that uniquely identifies a system on a network and there is no difference between IP and IPv4 infact IPv4 is a version of like IPv6.
IPV4 is 32bit (4 times 8bit) rgds
