What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6 in terms of binary?

Question

I have done some research on IPv4 and how to convert IP addresses to binary and vice versa. I also understand that IPv6 contains 4 x the amount of IPv4 binary per section. I just need to thoroughly understand how it works?

Answer 1

The Wikipedia Article on IP Addresses actually has a nice image showing exactly that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ipv6_address.svg

Hope that helps.
