In theory there are 264 available network allocations in ipV6. It is not known how many are actually in use at this time.
For a very clear comparison, in IPv4 there is a total of 4,294,967,296 IP addresses. With IPv6, there is a total of 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IP addresses in a single /64 allocation.

How many bits are used for an IP address in IPv6?
IN IPv6 we can find 128bits.
How many bits are in an IPv6?
IPv6 uses a 128-bit address space
What can you use to identify a ipv6 address?
IPv6 address has 2^128 address and IPv6 address is of 16 bytes and is represented in colon hex notation.
How many bits are normally used to identify the subnet in an IPv6 address?
64 bits
Which address types are 128 bits in length?
IPv6 address
How many bites does an IP address have?
In case of IPv4, the address has 4 bytes. In case of IPv6, the address has 16 bytes.
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).
How many bits are in an IP address that follows the IPv6 standard?
128-bit IP addresses
When an IPv6 enabled host needs to discover the mac address of an intended ipv6 destination which destination address is used by the source host in the ns message?

there are exactly340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 ip address in the next generation internet protocol knows as IPv6 for more info visit: IPv6.com
Why is NAT not needed in IPv6?
Any host or user can get a public IPv6 network address because the number of available IPv6 addresses is extremely large.​ smb
What is the the loop back address in IPv6?
The loop back address for IPv6 is 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 or it is abbreviated as ::1
