Detailed explanation-1: -Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) defines an IP address as a 32-bit number. However, because of the growth of the Internet and the depletion of available IPv4 addresses, a new version of IP (IPv6), using 128 bits for the IP address, was standardized in 1998.
Detailed explanation-2: -IPv4 is composed of 32-bit address length and is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol (IP). IPv6 is composed of 128-bit address length and is the latest updated version of the Internet Protocol (IP).
Detailed explanation-3: -The IP protocol identifies each computer connected to the network by its corresponding address. This address is a 32 bits number in Ipv4, that has to be unique for each server or computer, which we will call “host”. The IP addresses are usually represented as four decimal ciphers, of 8 bits each, separated by dots.
Detailed explanation-4: -How many bits make up an Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address, respectively? There are 32 bits in an IPv4 address and 128 bits in an IPv6 address.
