The IP address is what is used to locate a computer over the internet. The domain name - for example, Google.com - is only a shortcut, easy to read for humans. Before the corresponding server or servers can be accessed, the IP address must first be found. In the case of publicly accessible computers, the IP address is unique worldwide - that is, no two computers have the same IP address.
IPv4 Mechanisms
NAT64 serves as a mechanism to facilitate communication between IPv6-only and IPv4-only networks by allowing IPv6 clients to access IPv4 services. It translates IPv6 packets to IPv4 packets and vice versa, enabling seamless connectivity without requiring the IPv4 service to be directly accessible via IPv6. This is particularly useful during the transition period from IPv4 to IPv6, ensuring compatibility and interoperability across different network environments.
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.
While IPv6 is based on IPv4, it is superior. The main characteristic that shows its enhancement over IPv4 is that it processes faster.
There is no need to disable ipv4 to use ipv6.
Hosts with the same network portion of their IPv4 address.
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.
