Compare and contrast IPv4 addressing against IPv6 addressing

Compare and contrast IPv4 addressing against IPv6 addressing and describe why you would use a Dual IP stack.

ipv4:

ipv4 is 32 bit address which are commonly represented in the form of a decimal as a 4 numbers and those are seperated by a period

for example ipv4 address is in the form of 1.105.10.120

each number can be in the range from 0 to 255 asit is a 32 bit address.

size of the packet : 576 bytes are necessary

broadcasting is not possible in the ipv4

multicasting is also possible

ipv6:

ipv6 are 128 bit addresses which are commonly represented in the form of hexadecimal

ipv6 is seperated by a colon instead of period

ipv6 also allowes double colons inorder to depict the string consisting of zeros.

for example ipv6 is in the form of 9f3d:4500:4562:6:123:affcd:ab09:890a

size of the packet:1280 bytes are recquired

broadcasting is not possible in the ipv6

multicasting is possible in ipv6
