IPv6 Addressing Part 76
IPv6 Addressing
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol, designed to replace IPv4. IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long and are represented in hexadecimal format separated by colons (:).
Here's an example of an IPv6 address: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
IPv6 addresses are significantly larger than IPv4 addresses, which are 32 bits long. The expanded address space in IPv6 allows for a virtually unlimited number of unique addresses, which helps overcome the address exhaustion issues faced by IPv4.
IPv6 addresses are divided into different sections for routing and addressing purposes. The address format includes a network prefix and an interface identifier. The network prefix identifies the network to which the address belongs, and the interface identifier identifies a specific interface or device on that network.
IPv6 also introduces several new features and improvements over IPv4, such as enhanced security, simplified network configuration through stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC), and improved support for multicast traffic.
To facilitate the transition from IPv4 to IPv6, various transition mechanisms have been developed, such as dual-stack, tunneling, and translation techniques. These mechanisms allow IPv6-enabled devices to communicate with IPv4-only devices and networks.
Overall, IPv6 addressing provides a larger address space, improved functionality, and better support for future Internet growth compared to IPv4.
