IPv6 address consist of 8 hextets or parts which is normally difficult to remember, therefore there are some compression method, using compression techniques you can represent IPv6 in more understandable and simple way. This is a simple example of IPv6 address, you can see in below figure IPv6 address have eight hextets/parts and each hextet/part consist of 4 digits and of 16bits, while every digits is of 4bits that you can find from above table. Representation of all hexadecimal number/digits in binary form is as follows: Hexadecimal # IPv6 addresses are in hexadecimal form, so each digit is of four bits, IPv6 address’s consist of possible digits are 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F.

IPv6 address is of 128 bits and represented in eight octets of 16 bits.
