Explain the relationship between IPv4 and IPv6 in terms of current IP standards and the reason for introducing IPv6.

Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • IPv4 and IPv6 are the two current IP address standards.
  • IPv6 is the newer standard.
  • It was introduced because IPv4 could not provide enough available IP addresses for the growing need, so IPv6 was developed to provide more available addresses.

Explanation

Why this works

The answer should state that both IPv4 and IPv6 are current standards, identify IPv6 as the newer standard, and explain that it was introduced to address the shortage of available IPv4 addresses.
