IPv6 Addressing

• Since IPv6 addresses are 128bits long (compared to IPv4’s 32bits), a different representation is required:

  
  
  • IPv4: “192.168.0.1”
    • Values are only in DECIMAL, separated by “.”s
      
  • IPv6: “FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:FEDD:BA22:3324:2122”
    • Values are in HEXIDECIMAL, separated by “:”s
