Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -IPv6 uses 128-bit (2128) addresses, allowing 3.4 x 1038 unique IP addresses. This is equal to 340 trillion trillion trillion IP addresses. IPv6 is written in hexadecimal notation, separated into 8 groups of 16 bits by the colons, thus (8 x 16 = 128) bits in total.
Detailed explanation-2: -::1/128-The loopback address is a unicast localhost address (corresponding to 127.0. 0.1/8 in IPv4). If an application in a host sends packets to this address, the IPv6 stack will loop these packets back on the same virtual interface.
