IPv4 is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol, which uses 32-bit addresses, allowing for approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses. However, the rapid growth of the internet has depleted available IPv4 addresses.

IPv6, the sixth version of the Internet Protocol, employs 128-bit addresses, providing an enormous pool of unique addresses (approximately 340 undecillion). It offers enhanced security, improved network management, and supports the increasing number of devices connected to the internet.

While IPv4 remains widely used, the transition to IPv6 is necessary to overcome the address shortage and accommodate the expanding demands of our interconnected world.
