IP address is a ____ address.
A
64-bit
B
4-byte
C
32-bit
D
8-byte
E
16-bit
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The IPv4 address is a 32-bit number that uniquely identifies a network interface on a machine. An IPv4 address is typically written in decimal digits, formatted as four 8-bit fields that are separated by periods. Each 8-bit field represents a byte of the IPv4 address.

Detailed explanation-2: -An IP address is a 32 bit number like 11000000101010000000000100000001 in binary or 3232235777 in decimal. So it is written in 4 parts like 11000000.10101000. 00000001.00000001 in binary form and 192.168. 1.1 in decimal form.

Detailed explanation-3: -There is a total of 32 bits in IPv4 address space.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -For IPv4, this pool is 32-bits (232) in size and contains 4, 294, 967, 296 IPv4 addresses. The IPv6 address space is 128-bits (2128) in size, containing 340, 282, 366, 920, 938, 463, 463, 374, 607, 431, 768, 211, 456 IPv6 addresses.
