4.16.1 Overview
Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is the next generation IP protocol designed by the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF) to replace IPv4 and solve the IPv4 problems such as address depletion.
4.16.2 IPv6 Basic
1. IPv6 Address Format
IPv6 increases the length of the address from 32 bits in IPv4 to 128 bits, and therefore has a larger address
space than IPv4.
The basic format of an IPv6 address is X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X. The 128-bit IPv6 address is divided into eight 16-bit
sections that are separated by colons (:), and 16 bits in each section are represented by four hexadecimal
characters (0–9 and A–F). Each X represents a 4-character hexadecimal number.
For example: 2001:ABCD:1234:5678:AAAA:BBBB:1200:2100, 800:0:0:0:0:0:0:1, 1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A
The number 0 in the IPv6 address can be abbreviated as follows:
The starting 0s can be omitted. For example, 2001:00CD:0034:0078:000A:000B:1200:2100 can be written
