Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -IPv6 is the latest Internet Protocol version and the successor to IPv4.
Detailed explanation-2: -IPv4 is the original version that was launched back in 1983. However, its 32-bit format only allows for 4.3 billion unique addresses, which can’t serve the needs of the modern world. To address the lack of unique IPv4 addresses (and make some other technical changes), IPv6 was created.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fortunately, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) recognized this nearly 25 years ago. In 1998, it created IPv6, which instead uses 128-bit addressing to support approximately 340 trillion trillion (or 2 to the 128th power).
