Two features of IPv6 are:
An IPv6 address consists of 16 bytes (octets)
It is 128 bits long.
IPv6 specifies hexadecimal colon notation.
Therefore, the address consists of 32 hexadecimal digits, with every four digits separated by a colon
IPv6 has a much larger address space
It gives greater flexibility in address allocation.
There are three types of addresses in IPv6: unicast, anycast, and multicast.
In an IPv6 address, the variable type prefix field defines the address type or purpose.
