How can you tell IPv4 from IPv6?
Length: IPv4 addresses are shorter (usually 12 characters, including dots), while IPv6 addresses are longer (up to 39 characters, including colons).
Characters: IPv4 uses only numbers and dots, while IPv6 also includes letters (A-F) and colons.
Examples:
- IPv4: 192.168.1.1
- IPv6: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 or 2001:db8::8a2e:370:7334
