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.

IP ADDRESS occupies how many bytes?

IPv4 addresses are 4 bytes. IPv6 IP addresses are 16 bytes.


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 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 make up the single IPv6 hextet 10CD?

A "hextet" in IPv6 consists of 2 bytes, or 4 hexadecimal digits (as in the example in the question), or 16 bits.


How much overhead would this be if IPv6 is tunnelled over IPv4?

When tunneling IPv6 over IPv4, the overhead primarily consists of the additional IPv4 header and any encapsulation overhead. An IPv4 header is typically 20 bytes, while an IPv6 header is 40 bytes. Thus, the total overhead for tunneling one IPv6 packet over IPv4 would be 20 bytes, resulting in a total packet size increase of 20 bytes for every IPv6 packet transmitted. This additional overhead may impact performance, especially in networks with high traffic or limited bandwidth.


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 bits in an IP V6 address?

128 Bits. An IPv6 address is made up of 8 fields consisting of 16 bits per field. If you multiply 8 x 16 will get 128 bits. Each field is separated by colons unlike IPv4 which was separated by dotted decimal notation. A good link to go to to see the address and how sub-netting is done is on the related links below.

What is the most recent and largest address space IP addressing scheme?

IP version 6, also known as IPv6, IP next generation, or IPng. It uses addresses of 16 bytes, instead of the 4 bytes used in IPv4.
