What are the loopback addresses in IPv4 and IPv6?

In IPv4, the loopback address is 127.0.0.1. In IPv6 it is ::1.


What is the difference between your IPv4 address and your IP address?

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.


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.


Which IPv4 to IPv6 transition methods allows an IPv4 only host to communicate with a IPv6 only host?

I guess NAT64


Contrast the IPv4 and the IPv6 header fields?

Simplified header format. IPv6 has a fixed length header, which does not include most of the options an IPv4 header can include. Even though the IPv6 header contains two 128 bit addresses (source and destination IP address) the whole header has a fixed length of 40 bytes only. This allows for faster processing. Options are dealt with in extension headers, which are only inserted after the IPv6 header if needed. So for instance if a packet needs to be fragmented, the fragmentation header is inserted after the IPv6 header. The basic set of extension headers is defined in RFC 2460.

What is the length of IPv4 addresses?

IP addresses are of two types IPV4 and IPV6 . Depending upon the version the length of IP address differs . IPV4 is 32 bit long and IPV6 is 128 bits long.


What is the IP address of smart?

IP address is a logical address of a system which could be used to identify it. There are 2 types of IP address, IPV6 and IPV4.


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.

How do you determine what bits to use to calculate the network address?

An IP address comes in two formats: ipV4 and ipV6. In IpV4 32 bits are allocated to the IP address. In IpV6, 128 bits are allocated to the address. This is done by the protocol and is a standard for developing an IP address.


Should ipv4 be disabled when using ipv6?

There is no need to disable ipv4 to use ipv6.


What allows IPv6 hosts to map host names to IP address?

DNS - it handles both IpV4 and IPv6 addressing.
