I’ll now conclude this series with a detailed look at IPv6 addressing conventions. IPv4 addresses, which use dotted decimal notation, are fairly easy to remember. With a maximum of four octets ...

The first part of the video covers the general differences between IPv4 and IPv6, especially surrounding addressing. Then, it talks about how IP alone can’t do things you like to do for handling ...

When it comes to personal networks, simplicity is key, and the idea of transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6 addresses seems crazy. However, with the increasing number of ‘smart’ devices ...
