IPv4 and IPv6 - Binary Conversion

IPv4 address 192.168.50.112 /24

Address in binary 11000000.1010100.00110010.01110000

Netmask in binary 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000

IPv6 address 2001:2EB8:ADC1:54ED:1100:697A:3210:3331 /64

converted to binary 0010-0000-0000-0001:0010-1110-1011-1000:1010-1101-110

IPv6
● 128 bit address colon separated hexadecimal notation (8 hextets)
● Link-local address on each interface (locally significant only)
● Multiple routable addresses allowed on each interface
○ Global unicast (GUA) - unicast, routable on the Internet
○ Unique local - unicast, similar to IPv4 private address
○ Anycast - the same unicast address on multiple devices
● Multicast addresses (no broadcast addresses)
● /Network prefix - in slash decimal notation /64 (no subnet masks)

Global unicast address 2001:2EB8:ADC1:54ED:1100:697A:3210:3331 /64

Link-local address FE80::1100:697A:3210:3331 /10


IPv6 Network Prefix
● The network prefix separates the network portion from the interface ID
● The network prefix refers to the number of bits in the network portion

Network (64 bits) Interface ID

Global unicast address 2001:2EB8:ADC1:54ED:1100:697A:3210:3331 /64

Network (96 bits) Interface ID

Global unicast address 2001:2EB8:ADC1:54ED:0000:0000:0000:0F31 /96

Network (128 bits - single host/network of one)

Global unicast address 2001:2EB8:ADC1:54ED:0000:0000:0000:0F31 /128


IPv6 Global Unicast Address
● The network portion of the global unicast address is hierarchically
structured

Global Routing Prefix Subnet Interface ID prefix

2001 00A1 2233 0001 0800:27FF:FE00:0008 /64

/64 subnet prefix


/48 site prefix
/32 provider prefix
/23 regional registry
/3 IANA global prefix
IPv6 Address Compression
● Leading zeros can be omitted (trailing zeros cannot)
● A single instance of continuous zeros can be replaced with a double
colon ::
● When decompressing remember there are supposed to be 8 hextets of
4 hexadecimal characters each

global address 2001:0EB8:00C1:2200:0001:0000:0000:0331 /64

leading zeros 2001:0EB8:00C1:2200:0001:0000:0000:0331 /64
