    The document discusses the limited number of IPv4 addresses available due to each address being made up of four bytes or octets providing 4 billion possible combinations. It then introduces IPv6 which expands the address size to 16 bytes or 128 bits, providing a vastly larger number of 2^128 unique addresses to address the impending shortage of IPv4 addresses. IPv6 addresses are typically written as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons.

    IPv4

    • An IPv4 address consists of four bytes (32 bits).


    These bytes are also known as octets.
    • Ex: 234.5.67.190.086
    • Each sub area can vary from 000 to 255
    (2power8 = 256)
    • --- . --- . --- . ---
    • 0.0.0.0 through 255.255.255.255
    • total of 32 bits
    • 2 power32 4 billion addresses
    IPv6
    • IPv6 addresses are 16 bytes (128 bits) long
    • 2 power 128 unique addresses
    • Typically written as:
    hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh
    • hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh

    • each byte in turns is represented as a pair of


    hexadecimal numbers, like in the following
    example:
    • E3D7:0000:0000:0000:51F4:9BC8:C0A8:6420
