Detailed explanation-1: -IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the next version after IPv4. Instead of the 32 bits used by IPv4 for addressing, IPv6 uses 128 bits for the same purpose-which theoretically makes it possible to assign 2 128 addresses-hence, it offers long term solutions to most of the problems that emerged while using IPv4.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main advantage of IPv6 over IPv4 is its larger address space. The size of an IPv6 address is 128 bits, compared to 32 bits in IPv4. The address space therefore has 2128=340, 282, 366, 920, 938, 463, 463, 374, 607, 431, 768, 211, 456 addresses (340 undecillion, approximately 3.4×1038).
Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is the address size of IP addresses. 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.
