Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An IPv4 address has 32 bits, so there are 232 (over 4 billion) possible IPv4 addresses. Since the Internet is gaining devices quickly, we will soon surpass 232 unique devices on the Internet.In anticipation of all the new Internet devices, we are in the process of switching to IPv6, which uses 128 bits for a single address. That’s 96 extra bits to represent one address!Which of the following statements correctly describes how many more addresses will be possible to represent by switching from IPv4 to IPv6?
A
96 more addresses can be represented with IPv6
B
296 more addresses can be represented with IPv6
C
96 times as many addresses can be represented with IPv6
D
296 times as many addresses can be represented with IPv6
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following statements correctly describes how many more addresses will be possible to represent by switching from IPv4 to IPv6? 296 times as many addresses can be represented with IPv6. Which of the following would pose the greatest threat to a user’s personal privacy if it were to be leaked to the public?

Detailed explanation-2: -Which of the following best explains what happens when a new device is connected to the Internet? An Internet Protocol (IP) address is assigned to the device.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following best describes whether these two computers can communicate with each other across the Internet? The computers can communicate directly because Internet communication uses standard protocols that are used by all computers on the Internet.

Detailed explanation-4: -The IP protocol identifies each computer connected to the network by its corresponding address. This address is a 32 bits number in Ipv4, that has to be unique for each server or computer, which we will call “host”. The IP addresses are usually represented as four decimal ciphers, of 8 bits each, separated by dots.
