Bit means binary digit. A bit can be either a zero or a one.A 16-bit address refers to the length of the address. With a length of 16 bits, you can address a total of about 65,000 positions (that's 2 to the power 16).
For many years now, computers have used 32-bit addresses; since this basically limits them to accessing 4 GB of RAM, more recently, they have started to use 64-bit addresses.

What is the address space in system with 16 bit addresses?
216 = 65,536.
How many bytes are in ipv6?
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.
What is a bit of punctuation used in internet addresses?
For V4 addresses they are separated by a period (.). For V6 addresses they are separated by a colon (:)
How millions of computers are addressed with just 32 bits?
Internet addresses of computers are currently covered by Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), which has a 32 bit address space.Imagine you had only 1 bit long addresses. Then you could have only 2 different addresses - address 0 and address 1. But if you had 2 bit long addresses, you get 4 possible addresses - 00, 01, 10, 11. If you had 3 bit long addresses, you would have 8 possible addresses - 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111. Every time you add a new address bit, you double the number of addresses possible.1 bit = 2 addresses2 bits = 4 addresses3 bits = 8 addresses4 bits = 16 addresses5 bits = 32 addresses...Since each address bit doubles the number of possible addresses, a 32 bit address space covers 232 possible addresses, or over 4,000,000,000. And this is only for unique addresses that the whole world can use; many computers are in private networks (inside corporations, for example) and do not need an external IPv4 address. They talk to the outside world through a few routers which DO have IPv4 addresses. So a company might have tens of thousands of computers, but only a few dozen IPv4 addresses that are assigned to the routers they have connected to the internet.Even so, all 4,000,000,000 of the IPv4 addresses have finally been allocated and will be used up over the next several months. This means that the internet will need to migrate to a newer addressing version, IPv6. IPv6 uses 128 bit addressing. 2128 is about 3.4x1038 addresses. That's 3,400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 addresses. They should last us a while.
What bit addresses are assigned to P0?
Addresses 80 - 87H are assigned to the P0 port
How many usable IP addresses are in a 20-bit subnet?
There are 4094 usable IP addresses in a 20-bit subnet.
Why 8085 is called 8-bit processor and why 8086 is called 16-bit?
The 8086/8088 processor is called a 16 bit processor because its basic architecture is 16 bits wide. Its registers and accumulator are 16 bits wide, and the primary data it manipulates without extra work is 16 bits wide.
Which unique address is a 128 bit address written in hexadecimal?
Since IPv4 addresses ran out a few years ago, the creation of IPv6 was introduced. This contains 128-bit addresses.
How does a 16 bit address bus address upto 64kb?
A 16-bit address bus can address 2^16 distinct memory locations, which equals 65,536 individual addresses. Since each address typically corresponds to one byte of memory, this allows for the addressing of up to 64 kilobytes (KB) of memory (64KB = 65,536 bytes). Thus, a 16-bit address bus can effectively access all memory within this range.
What is 16 bit compiler?
Quite simply, a 16-bit compiler is a compiler for a 16-bit machine.
How does 8086 determine wheather instruction is 8 bit or 16 bit?
based on the size of the data bus they determine whether it is a 8 bit or 16 bit . here in 8086 it has 16 bit data bus hence it is called as 16 bit microprocessor
How many Mac addresses are possible?
This 48-bit address space contains potentially 248 or 281,474,976,710,656 possible MAC addresses.
