Detailed explanation-1: -IPv6 addresses are are made up of eight hextets separated by colons. Each hextet has four hexadecimal digits, and each digit uses four bits.
Detailed explanation-2: -IPv6 has eight header fields with a 40-character length; IPv4 has 20 header fields with an eight-character length. IPv6 does not have any checksum fields. To map MAC addresses, IPv6 uses NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol), while IPv4 uses ARP (address resolution protocol).
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
