IPv4 was the first used network addressing scheme from the 1970s. IPv6 is newer and not compatible with version 4. It will take some time to upgrade the software and equipment to be able to fully use v6.

Should ipv4 be disabled when using ipv6?
There is no need to disable ipv4 to use ipv6.
What is the length in bits of a logical IP address IPv4 and 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).32 bits (for IPv4), or 128 bits (for IPv6).
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.
Differential between ipv4 and ipv6?
1. Describe the main features that differentiate IPv6 from IPv4
Which IPv4 to IPv6 transition methods allows an IPv4 only host to communicate with a IPv6 only host?
I guess NAT64
How do you upgrade IPv4 to IPv6?
You don't exactly "upgrade" it; you can configure your computer for IPv6, but continue using IPv4 for a while. Not many servers exist yet for IPv6; if you want to access an IPv4 server, you need to use IPv4 on your side, as well. To use IPv6 on your end, you need to access a server that also works with IPv6.So, basically, you need to:Ask your ISP (Internet Service Provider) whether they have support for IPv6.Ask the ISP how you should configure your computer to work with IPv6. (I am not sure whether there is a standard method that works in most cases - perhaps you just enable it.)Configure your computer.Look around for Web sites that use IPv6. For a start, I believe there is an ipv6.google.com, which you can use for testing your connectivity.You don't exactly "upgrade" it; you can configure your computer for IPv6, but continue using IPv4 for a while.

Which characteristic describes an IPv6 enhancement over IPv4?
While IPv6 is based on IPv4, it is superior. The main characteristic that shows its enhancement over IPv4 is that it processes faster.
What are the loopback addresses in IPv4 and IPv6?
In IPv4, the loopback address is 127.0.0.1. In IPv6 it is ::1.
Conversion of IPV4-IPV6?
There is no direct conversion.
Discuss the IPv6 integration issue and comparing the security aspects of IPv4 and IPv6?
uLol(^^,)!
What is a service that provides IPv6 connectivity to IPv4 users?
There are a number of technologies that can provide IPv6 translation for IPv4 users, most commonly Dual Stack and 6 to 4 tunneling. DUAL STACK involves running both IPv4 and IPv6 on a single router with the router managing the implementation of either protocol as and when necessary. 6 to 4 tunneling encapsulates an IPv6 frame in and IPv4 frame for tansport over an IPv4 network either to its destination address or a network where the IPv4 frame can be discarded.
What is the difference between ipv5 and ipv6?
There is no ipv5, just as there are no ipv1, ipv2, and ipv3. Most networks in the world use ipv4 with a few having upgraded to ipv6.
