You are describing the differences between IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) and IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) while addressing to a group of high school students attending a technology workshop. Of the following, which are true statements about IPv4 and IPv6 addressing? (Choose two.)

A. The IPv4 address size is 32 bits, and it uses numeral values to indicate addresses.

B. The IPv4 address size is 32 bits, and it uses hexadecimal values to indicate addresses.

C. The IPv6 address size is 128 bits, and it uses numeral values to indicate addresses.

D. The IPv6 address size is 128 bits, and it uses hexadecimal values to indicate addresses.

Solution

A and D. The IPv4 address size is limited to 32 bits, which is of concern since the total number of addresses could actually be exhausted due to the exponential explosion of device types that require networking. IPv4 addresses are expressed in four octets of numerical values separated by periods, such as 192.168.0.1. The IPv6 address size is 128 bits, which may well provide an almost inexhaustible number of network addresses. Such addresses are expressed in hexadecimal values separated by colons such as 2001:0DB8:FE01: AC10:0000:0000:0000:0000. The trailing zeros can be omitted in the actual address.
