IPv6 Question

[masked1]

With regards to IPv6, How many bytes is an IPv6 address long

Is it double of the existing V4?

Thanks

I think its 64 bytes.


Edit:I was off by a long shot.:Q

64 Bytes Nah!(Not in my Life time).

That would be 64x8=512bits.

IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses instead of IPv4's 32-bit addresses, which increases the address space by a factor of 2*96.

Howver, if the Numbers of Bits (Bytes) is unknown it means that One does not know the basics of the issue.

If one doe not know the basic, why should he care?

So here are the basics.
