    IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses represented in decimal and organized into classes, while IPv6 uses 128-bit hexadecimal addresses without classes. IPv4 has a limited number of addresses and supports VLSM, whereas IPv6 has a vast number of addresses and does not support VLSM. IPv6 provides features like auto-configuration, packet flow identification, encryption, and authentication that IPv4 lacks.

    Classes IPv4 has 5 different classes IPv6 does not contain
    of IP address that includes classes of IP addresses.
    Class A, Class B, Class C,
    Class D, and Class E.
    Number of IP address IPv4 has a limited number of IPv6 has a large number of
    IP addresses. IP addresses
