Hi All,
Greeting from TelecomTigers Team,
Today, let discuss some features in IPv6, which makes it differ from IPv4,
Below are some basic information for IPv6,
- Its a 128 Bit Address
- Divided into 8 Segments
- Each Segment is of 16 Bits
- Each Segment is separated by ":" Sign
- IPv6 Address Example - ACDF : 0A39 : 412F : B5E2 : 00FF : FF21 : 79EA : 0001
Features :-
- Longer Address Range - 2⌃128 Bits (3.4 x 10⌃38 Addresses)
- No Broadcast - It has (Unicast, Multicast, AnyCast)
- Single IP can be used by specific user at all places i.e. no need to assign new IP every time, as user changes his location,
- Single IP can be used for End to End Connectivity i.e. NAT feature not required
- IP Security (IPSec) - Optional but Available
- Quick Routing - All important information is at starting of Header which help in quick decision for routing
- Reduced Complexity in Header w.r.t IPv4,
IPv6 - Address Length (40 Byte with 8 Fields)
IPv4 - Address Length (20 Byte with 13 Fields)
Comments are most Welcomed,
