Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Hexadecimal format.
Key Points
- IPV6 addresses are written in hexadecimal format.
- An IPV6 address consists of 128 bits and is divided into eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, separated by colons.
- Each hexadecimal digit represents 4 bits, making it suitable for representing large address spaces.
- An example of an IPV6 address is 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334.
- Hexadecimal format is used because it is more compact and readable compared to binary format.
Additional Information
- IPV6 was developed to address the exhaustion of IPV4 addresses and provides a vastly larger address space.
- IPV6 also includes improvements in areas such as routing and network autoconfiguration.
- IPV6 addresses can be shortened by omitting leading zeros and using double colons (::) to represent consecutive groups of zeros.
- IPv6 has built-in security features such as mandatory support for IPsec, which provides confidentiality, integrity, and authentication at the IP layer.
