IPv4 vs IPv6

 The IP(Internet Protocol) was mainly used as identity for any device which is been used to access or communicate with it. The IP can be assigned to computers,routers,switches etc.. The main usage of internet protocol versions that are been implemented are IPv4(Internet Protocol version 4)  and IPv6(Internet Protocol version 6).

             The IPv4 been predominantly used in present internet world. But since IPv4 address are been getting drained off and no more new IP are there to assign for new device. The IPv4 consist of various classes from a to e. They are been build with 32bits address.


              The IPv6 been next version of IPv4. It is been slowly and steadily people started to switching over to IPv6. The slow switch over to IPv6 is due its newer configuration requirement needed to implements its protocol. They are been build with 128bits address. IPv6 consist of 3times of IP over all devices in world.

 P.S: IPv5(Internet Protocol version 5) was rejected in testing phase.
