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.
What are the loopback addresses in IPv4 and IPv6?
In IPv4, the loopback address is 127.0.0.1. In IPv6 it is ::1.
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.
What allows IPv6 hosts to map host names to IP address?
DNS - it handles both IpV4 and IPv6 addressing.
What three facts are true about the network portion of an IPv4 address?
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.
Should ipv4 be disabled when using ipv6?
There is no need to disable ipv4 to use ipv6.
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.
Differential between ipv4 and ipv6?

The loop back address also known as local host is?
127.0.0.1 in IPv4 or ::1 in IPv6
What must you use to span the gap in IPv6 support and access the IPv6 Internet?
IPv6 is not a separate Internet. It is a separate type of address. Machines can have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses simultaneously. Many web servers already do this, and nearly all of the Internet's backbone routers have both types of address. Theoretically, if you are using IPv4 or IPv6, your data will take the same path, across the same hardware, to its destination. However, you may not be able to get an IPv6 address from your Internet Service Provider, perhaps since they are not yet IPv6-ready (often the case with smaller ISPs). In this case, you can setup a 6-to-4 tunnel which connects your IPv6 network inside your home to the IPv4 network of your ISP. Presumably, that ISP will also have a 4-to-6 tunnel allowing your packets to make their way to the IPv6 destination. That being said, if you know the IPv4 address of the same server, you can just use that without the need for IPv6. Only in the rare cases where servers only have an IPv6 address do you need to ensure that your packets come from an IPv6 address, then travel to the destination somehow (directly across an IPv6 network, or using tunnels as described above).
