Name the two current IP address standards and explain why IPv6 was introduced.

Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • The two current IP address standards are IPv4 and IPv6.
  • IPv6 was introduced because the available supply of IPv4 addresses was becoming insufficient, so a new standard was needed to provide more available IP addresses.

Explanation

Why this works

A complete answer identifies both standards and links the introduction of IPv6 to the shortage of available IPv4 addresses. Answers that only name IPv4 and IPv6 do not explain why IPv6 was introduced.
