ITPEC IP April 2024 Question 34
ITPEC IP April 2024 — Question 34 of 100
IPv6 uses 128-bit IP addresses, providing an extremely large address space suitable for vast numbers of Internet-connected devices. Its theoretical address space contains 2¹²⁸ values, far exceeding the 2³² values available with 32-bit IPv4 addresses. IPv6 addresses are normally written as groups of hexadecimal digits separated by colons.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- (a) IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses
- (b) IPv5 was associated with an experimental stream protocol and is not the Internet addressing successor in general deployment
- (d) IPv8 is not the standardized 128-bit Internet Protocol used for this purpose
Key rule: Remember the defining address lengths: IPv4 is 32 bits and IPv6 is 128 bits.
