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

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.
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.
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.
While IPv6 is based on IPv4, it is superior. The main characteristic that shows its enhancement over IPv4 is that it processes faster.
In IPv4, the loopback address is 127.0.0.1. In IPv6 it is ::1.
The IPv6 equivalent of the IPv4 loopback address 127.0.0.1 is ::1. This address is used to refer to the local host in IPv6, similar to how 127.0.0.1 functions in IPv4. The "::" notation represents a shorthand for consecutive blocks of zeros in IPv6 addressing.
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.
DNS - it handles both IpV4 and IPv6 addressing.
The IPv4 address is identical for all hosts in a broadcast domain. The IPv4 addresse varies in length. The IPv4 address is used to forward packets.
There is no need to disable ipv4 to use ipv6.

1. Describe the main features that differentiate IPv6 from IPv4
There are primarily two versions of the Internet Protocol in use today: IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4, which uses a 32-bit address scheme, has been the dominant protocol since the inception of the internet but has a limited address space. IPv6, introduced to address the limitations of IPv4, uses a 128-bit address scheme and provides a vastly larger address space. While IPv4 is still widely used, IPv6 adoption is gradually increasing as the need for more IP addresses grows.
