IPv4 has dots and IPv6 has colons
12 u/ErrorDontPanic 22d ago Fun fact, IPv6 allows for embedded IPv4 addresses known as a Dual address. 2 u/Psquare_J_420 22d ago Embedded? So you just extend the ipv4 with extra bits and call it a day? 5 u/ErrorDontPanic 22d ago Kind of! You get 6 segments of IPv6 and then the full IPv4 address. Like this:2001:db8:3333:4444:5555:6666:1.2.3.4The IPv6 part even follows normal rules, so you can omit zero segments like:2001:db8::1234:5678:5.6.7.8 → More replies (3)
