I'm pretty sure LAN's are a group of computers connected to each other through routers/modems or ethernet cables. The internet it similar to LAN's but instead of connecting to other computers close by, it connects to computers all around the world.

What are the advantages of Class A network over Class B and Class C?

A class A network has more IP addresses - you can connect more hosts on it.A class C network has 256 IP addresses (of which you can use 254), a class B network about 65,000, a class A network about 17 million.More specifically, a Class A network can have 16,777,214 usable host addresses per network whereas a Class B network can have 65,6534 usable host addresses per network.Another advantage is the ridiculous amounts of subnetting you can do. For example, in a Class C network, you can't borrow the same number of bits as you can with a Class A because you only have the last octet to work with for the host portion. With a Class A network, the last three octets are the entire host portion, so you have 24 bits to work with for subnetting (technically 23 since you can't subnet down through all available bits and have no bits left for hosts =p). Due to the amount of subnets you can have and the 16+ million hosts you can potentially have on the same network, Class A networks are reserved for super big applications (ISPs and gigantic companies).


What must you use to span the gap in IPv6 support and access the IPv6 Internet?

IPv6 is not a separate Internet. It is a separate type of address. Machines can have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses simultaneously. Many web servers already do this, and nearly all of the Internet's backbone routers have both types of address. Theoretically, if you are using IPv4 or IPv6, your data will take the same path, across the same hardware, to its destination. However, you may not be able to get an IPv6 address from your Internet Service Provider, perhaps since they are not yet IPv6-ready (often the case with smaller ISPs). In this case, you can setup a 6-to-4 tunnel which connects your IPv6 network inside your home to the IPv4 network of your ISP. Presumably, that ISP will also have a 4-to-6 tunnel allowing your packets to make their way to the IPv6 destination. That being said, if you know the IPv4 address of the same server, you can just use that without the need for IPv6. Only in the rare cases where servers only have an IPv6 address do you need to ensure that your packets come from an IPv6 address, then travel to the destination somehow (directly across an IPv6 network, or using tunnels as described above).
