How many bits is an IPv4 address?
A
16
B
32
C
64
D
128
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -There is a total of 32 bits in IPv4 address space.

Detailed explanation-3: -The IPv4 is a 32-bit address, whereas IPv6 is a 128-bit hexadecimal address. IPv6 provides a large address space, and it contains a simple header as compared to IPv4. IPv6 increases the IP address from 32 bits to 128 bits to support larger address demands.

Detailed explanation-4: -IPv4 addresses have 4 bytes (32 bits) whereas IPv6 has 16 bytes (128 bits) in length.
