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: -An IPv6 address can contain an embedded IPv4 address. The format has 6 hexadecimal and 4 decimal numbers representing 16 bytes (for example, x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d (x = ‘0’x-X’FFFF’ and d = 0-255)).
Detailed explanation-3: -Format of an IPv6 address In precise terms, an IPv6 address is 128 bits long and is arranged in eight groups, each of which is 16 bits. Each group is expressed as four hexadecimal digits and the groups are separated by colons. An IPv6 address is split into two parts: a network and a node component.
