Solution 1:
IPv6 address structure is different from IPv4 for different purposes, such as subnetting is no
longer applicable. It uses 128 bits for providing an address to a particular machine. It is mention
in hexadecimal number as an example 6e80:0:ab34:18ff:0:2400:60:5e4a and
2001:0ab8:65a3:0000:0000:4a6e:0786:0007. It uses sixteen-bit hexadecimal numbers because it
is easy process to convert hexadecimal to binary. IPv6 uses two logical parts for addressing for
different purpose as it use 64 bits for prefix and second 64bits are used for host’s interface.
Prefix is used for routing (Ali, 2012).
(Source: Oracle, 2018)
In interface’s 48 bit MAC address for big amount of the address. 16-bit values are inserted
after the MAC address (Oracle, 2018). This 64-bit address is autoconfigured, it is a host ID, and
it is known as Extended Unique Identifier (EUI). IPv6 have three types of address are:
 Unicast
 Multicast
 Anycast
Unicast and Multicast addresses are performing much like their IPv4 counterparts. It has few
exceptions. A device for single interface uses a unicast address. Unicast addresses have three
types. First is Link-local addresses, they are self-configuring, and it cannot be routed (Shui-zhen,
2011). Second is Unique local addresses, they are starting with fc or fd and it is preconfigured.
Third is Global addresses, they are accessible to all and it can be routed (casad, 2012). IPv6 also
has loopback address, which is : : 1. In IPv6, zero address is mention as : :. There is a global
