Right Answer is: B

SOLUTION

The correct answer is option 2 i.e 128 bits.

  • An IPv6 address has a size of 128 bits.
  • Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol (IP), the communications protocol that provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and routes traffic across the Internet.
  • IPv6 was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to deal with the long-anticipated problem of IPv4 address exhaustion.
  • IPv6 is intended to replace IPv4.
