Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which two statements are correct about IPv4 and IPv6 addresses? (Choose two.)
A
IPv4 addresses are 32 bit in length
B
IPv4 addresses are represented by hexadecimal numbers
C
IPv6 addresses are 64 bit in length
D
IPv6 addresses are 32 bit in length
E
IPv6 addresses are represented by hexadecimal numbers
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: IPv4 addresses are represented as dotted decimal numbers and are 32 bits in length. IPv6 addresses are represented by hexadecimal numbers and are 128 bits in length.

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 IPv4 address is 32 bits and expressed in dotted-decimal notation, whereas an IPv6 address is 128 bits in length and written in hexadecimal.

Detailed explanation-4: -IPv4 addresses are most often written in dotted decimal notation. In this format, each 8-bit byte in the 32-bit IPv4 address is converted from binary or hexadecimal to a decimal number between 0 (0000 0000 or 0x00) and 255 (1111 1111 or 0xFF).
