Question

Using an example explain why network design using IPv6 is simpler compared to IPv4 network design.

Answer 1

Solution:

->Firstly we know about IPV4 address:-

->IPV4 address is a 32-bit address that is uniquely defines the connectio of the device in networks.

-> The address space is 2^32

->The notation of the IPV4 adess is in two types one is Binary notation and another is Dotted decimal notation.

For example:

1001 1000 1010 0001 this can be written in IPV4 address as( 9.8.10.1)

->About IPV6 address:-

->IPV6 address is 128 bit address rather than 32 bit in IPV4 address

->To overcome the problem of the IPV4 IPV6 is created.

-> The notation of IPV6 is in Hexadecimal form.

For example:

0110 1010 1100 0000 this can be written in IPV6 as(6AC) here 0's can be ommitted.

Why IPV6 is simplet than IPV4:

-> IPV6 has 128-bit address it is the advanced version of the IPV4, because in IPV4 there is ony 32 bit address nodes so the big data is possible to set in IPV4.

->IPV6 is able to allow us to do a more than 2000 combination of the addresses,it uses Hexadecimal instead of Dotted-decimal notation, So it provides more efficient output than the IPV4 address.

->Also, IPV6 uses the Multicat Listner Discovery(MLD) for local subnet management, So it gives efficient outcome which is easier than the IPV4 addresss network protocol.

->IPV6 also neglects the 0's why because it is noted in Hexadecimal form.Also it allows us to store the n number of ip addresses.

example :

1100 1110 0011 0000

IPV4: 12.14.3.0

IPV6: CE3
