What is IPv6 and when will it be used?

(Internet Protocol) IPv6 is the next step from IPv4. Currently we are not using IPv6 for our networks but soon it will implemented into our networks normally. IPv6 uses 128 bit spaces for its ip addresses were as IPv4 only uses 32 bit spaces. That means IPv6 can support 2128 addresses. I do not think we will run out of addresses with this version anytime soon.


Which statements about IPv4 and IPv6 are correct?

IPV6 is less vulnerable to DNS Spoofing IPv4 addresses use 32 bit or 4 bytes for addressing IPv6 addresses use eight bit segments.

Is it true that the IPv6 addresses in Windows 7 computers use six byte hexadecimal sequences hard coded into each network interface adapter by the manufacturer?

I think you are mixing up two different protocols. IPv6 addresses are not hard coded into your adapter; MAC addresses are. It's totally different. IPv6 addresses are 16 bytes long and MAC addresses are 6 bytes long.


How many IPv6 address are possible?

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.


What are the loopback addresses in IPv4 and IPv6?

How many bytes are in ipv6?

IPv6 address is 128-bit. IPv6 addresses are written in eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons, such as 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334.
