      Which Characteristic Describes An Ipv6 Enhancement Over Ipv4?

      The Ipv6 has the size of 128 bit when we compare it with the Ipv4. The IPv6 has the address of 128 bit when we compare it with the Ipv4 which is only 32 bit. Today, let us know about some of the benefits of the Ipv6 when we compare it with the Ipv4.

      We all know that internet protocols are the main rules for the transmission of data on any separate network. So the internet protocol will describe the header format of a datagram or for a packet. The data payload will be nested with it in order to improve efficiency. And the second most important thing is that to route or predict the best possible path for transmission of the data across various network boundaries.

      This process is mostly performed by the routers. The Ipv6 will be able to replace Ipv4 32 bit address with its 128-bit address. The Ipv6 will give some of the real benefits in controlling and in the convenience. When each device is able to approach all other devices that are on the network will be able to improve the performance. The Ipv6 can also able to configure itself rather than relying on any other things like DHCP. The header data must also be able to include every packet when it is larger to accommodate the longer addresses.

      As we discussed earlier, the Internet protocol helps to communicate with each other over a network. Let us take an example to understand this concept in detail. When a computer tries to send the information, the data will be broken into small parts called packets. Each of these packets will contain Ip information. We will assign Ip address to every device that is present on the network. So that we can uniquely identify the devices from the other devices.

      By assigning each device with an Ip address, the networks will be able to route effectively all the packets of the data and reach the right destination address. Even though the Ipv4 has a larger number of Ip addresses, we still need more. So the Ipv6 has come into the field. Now, let us learn some of the common differences between the Ipv4 and the Ipv6.

      The most common difference between the Ipv4 and the Ipv6 is in its format. And the other basic difference is in its size, the size of the Ipv4 is 32 bit whereas the size of ipv6 is 128 bit. Here the Ipv6 is 1028 times more than the Ipv4. It will essentially solve the lack of addresses problem. The Ipv6 is an alphanumeric address that is separated by the colons. The below figure 1.1 and 1.2 represents the structure of the Ipv4 and the Ipv6. As we can see the Ipv4 is only the numeric which can be separated by the periods and the Ipv6 is alphanumeric that can be separated by the colons.

      Typically, there is no difference between the addresses of Ipv4 and the Ipv6 addresses in terms of their speed, but the Ipv6 will be somewhat faster than the Ipv4.
