How to transfer IPv4 addresses to IPv6

IPv4 addresses (Internet Protocol Address version 4) have a string of 32 bits in length, displayed by a 4-part string separated by 4 dots. Each part is called an octet and has 8 data bits. And according to the time of use that the IPv4 source gradually depleted, as well as the development of information technology, the new Internet address version IPv6 was designed to replace the IPv4 version. IPv6 came into being, which partly solved the exhaustive IPv4 problem to continue Internet activities, and overcome the current disadvantages of IPv4 addresses.

IPv6 address is 128 bits long, represented as hexa number cluster separated by ::. as sequence number 2001: 0DC8 :: 1005: 2F43: 0BCD: FFFF. So what if I want to change from IPv4 to IPv6 address?

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.

1. 173: 16 = 10 balances 13
2. 194: 16 = 12 surplus 2
3. 38: 16 = 2 surplus 6
4. 101: 16 = 6 surplus 5

When compared to the HEX value we have:

1. A = 10
2. B = 11
3. C = 12
4. D = 13
5. E = 14
6. 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:

1. Full recording is 0000: 0000: 0000: 0000: 0000: ADC2: 2665.
2. Shortened is :: ADC2: 2665.

2. Transfer IPv4 to IPv6 online

There are a number of websites that users can convert online without having to calculate according to the collection method as above.

1. ipv6.ztsoftware:
