Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

IPv6 is represented by using a number system?

A	binary
B	decimal
C	octal
D	hexadecimal

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -IPv6 addresses are 128 bits in length and written as a string of hexadecimal digits. Every 4 bits can be represented by a single hexadecimal digit, for a total of 32 hexadecimal values (016 [00002] through f16 [11112]).

Detailed explanation-2: -The IPv6 address size is 128 bits. The preferred IPv6 address representation is: x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x, where each x is the hexadecimal values of the eight 16-bit pieces of the address. IPv6 addresses range from 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 to ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff .

Detailed explanation-3: -An IPv6 address is represented as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, each group representing 16 bits The groups are separated by colons (:). An example of an IPv6 address is: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334. The standards provide flexibility in the representation of IPv6 addresses.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hexadecimal is used to represent IPv6 addresses and MAC addresses. IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long, and every 4 bits is represented by a hexadecimal digit for a total of 32 hexadecimal digits.
