Detailed explanation-1: -An IP address (internet protocol address) is a numerical representation that uniquely identifies a specific interface on the network. Addresses in IPv4 are 32-bits long. This allows for a maximum of 4, 294, 967, 296 (232) unique addresses.
Detailed explanation-2: -TCP/IP includes an Internet addressing scheme that allows users and applications to identify a specific network or host with which to communicate.
Detailed explanation-3: -IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses as opposed to the 32-bit addresses used by IPv4, allowing for a substantially larger number of possible addresses. With each bit corresponding to a ‘0’ or ‘1’, this theoretically allows 2^128 combinations or 340 trillion, trillion, trillion addresses.
Detailed explanation-4: -IPv6 allows for far more connected devices to exist on the internet without duplicating addresses, which can cause issues.
