The size of an IP address in IPv6 is _________

A. 4 bytes
B. 128 bits
C. 8 bytes
D. 100 bits

Explanation: An IPv6 address is 128 bits long. Therefore, 2128 i.e. 340 undecillion addresses are possible in IPv6. IPv4 has only 4 billion possible addresses and IPv6 would be a brilliant alternative in case IPv4 runs out of possible new addresses.

IPv6 does not use _________ type of address.

A. Broadcast
B. Multicast
C. Anycast
D. Unicast

Explanation: There is no concept of broadcast address in IPv6. Instead, there is an anycast address in IPv6 which allows sending messages to a group of devices but not all devices in a network. Anycast address is not standardized in IPv4.

Which among the following features is present in IPv6 but not in IPv4?

A. Fragmentation
B. Header checksum
C. Options
D. Anycast address

Explanation: There is an anycast address in IPv6 which allows sending messages to a group of devices but not all devices in a network. Anycast address is not standardized in IPv4.

The _________ field determines the lifetime of IPv6 datagram

A. Hop limit
B. Ttl
C. Next header
D. Type of traffic

Explanation: The Hop limit value is decremented by one by a router when the datagram is forwarded by the router. When the value becomes zero the datagram is discarded. The field is 8-bits wide, so an IPv6 packet can live up to 255 router hops only.
