About this document
IPv4 vs IPv6: Key Differences Explained by Mutungi Felix is a document available to read on EtoBox.
IPv4 addresses are 32-bit and represented in decimals while IPv6 addresses are 128-bit and represented in hexadecimals. IPv6 has built-in IPSec support, fragmentation done only by sender, and identifies packet flows using the Flow Label field in the header, whereas IPv4 has optional IPSec, fragmentation by sender and routers, and no flow identification. Additionally, IPv6 automatically configures addresses while IPv4 requires manual or dynamic configuration.
