Program Plan Intro

Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4):

  • It has the address length of 32 bit and the address is represented in decimals.
  • It contains header options so it is not simple.
  • Both sender and forwarding routers do the fragmentation.
  • Its security level is low because it does not contain extension header.

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6):

  • It has the address length of 128 bit and the address is represented in hexadecimals.
  • It contains simple header because it does not contain option fields.
  • Only Sender does the fragmentation.
  • It provides better security because it contains extension headers.
