#Summary - In today's blog we will learn about what is IPv6 in Networking.

#IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) -

*IPv6 is the latest version of IP addressing it is created  because of the shortage of IP address.

*IPv6 implements 128-bits IP address whereas IPv4 implements 32-bits address.

*IPv6 implements first 64-bits for network address while remaining 64-bits are reserved for address.

*IPv6 provides with 3.4*10^38 addresses, or 5*10^28(50octillion) addresses which are much larger in number than the current requirement of IP Address.

*IPv6 address format is represented in hexadecimal colon notation to make this address readable.

*The 128-bit address is divided into eight sections format which in 2-byte in length and requires four hexadecimal digits.

*Hence, the IPv6 address format consists of 32 hexadecimal digits, while every 4 digits are separated by a colon.
