How to convert IPv4 to IPv6

1. How to switch manually

We have an iPv4 address of 173.194.38.101 .

IPv4 addresses are divided into 4 zones, each divided by 16, record the result and the balance.

• 173: 16 = 10 balances 13
• 194: 16 = 12 surplus 2
• 38: 16 = 2 surplus 6
• 101: 16 = 6 surplus 5

When compared to the HEX value we have:

• A = 10
• B = 11
• C = 12
• D = 13
• E = 14
• F = 15

Based on the above calculation and the result, we will sort the result first and the balance after ADC2: 2665.

So the IPv6 address of 173.194.38.101 is ADC2: 2665 . Since IPv4 addresses have 32 bits, IPv6 addresses are 128 bits, so there are 96 bits missing. This 96 bit is a sequence of zero. Users can write in two ways:

• Full recording is 0000: 0000: 0000: 0000: 0000: ADC2: 2665.
• Shortened is:: ADC2: 2665.
