FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -An IPv4 address is 32 bits. An IP Address is shown as 4 decimal numbers representing 4 bytes: d.d.d.d where d = decimal number (0-255). High order bits are the network identifier and lower order bits are the host identifier.

Detailed explanation-2: -IPv4 & IPv6 are both IP addresses that are binary numbers. IPv4 is a 32-bit binary number, and IPv6 is a 128-bit binary number address. IPv4 addresses are separated by periods, while IPv6 addresses are separated by colons. Both IP addresses are used to identify machines connected to a network.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -An IP address has two parts: the network ID, comprising the first three numbers of the address, and a host ID, the fourth number in the address. So on your home network-192.168. 1.1, for example – 192.168. 1 is the network ID, and the final number is the host ID.

Detailed explanation-5: -The IPv4 is a 32-bit address, whereas IPv6 is a 128-bit hexadecimal address. IPv6 provides a large address space, and it contains a simple header as compared to IPv4. IPv6 increases the IP address from 32 bits to 128 bits to support larger address demands.
