🧭 What Are IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses?
IP addresses are unique identifiers assigned to every device connected to the internet. They work like a home address — helping data find its way to and from your device.
📌 IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4)
- Format: 4 numbers separated by dots (e.g.,
192.168.1.1) - Each number: Ranges from 0 to 255
- Total combinations: About 4.3 billion addresses
- Commonly used: Still the most widespread IP version today
Example: 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS)
🌐 IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6)
- Format: 8 groups of hexadecimal numbers separated by colons (e.g.,
2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334) - Designed for the future: Supports 340 undecillion unique addresses
- Security & performance: Built-in encryption and efficient routing
Example: 2001:4860:4860::8888 (Google DNS in IPv6)
🔄 Why Are There Two Versions?
IPv4 addresses are running out due to the huge number of devices online today. IPv6 was introduced to provide a nearly unlimited number of addresses and better performance.
