Pv4 uses 32-bit (four-byte) addresses. which limits the address space to 4,294,967,296 (232) possible unique addresses. However, some are reserved for special purposes such as private networks (~18 million addresses) or multicast addresses (~270 million addresses). This reduces the number of addresses that can potentially be allocated for routing on the public internet. As addresses are being incrementally delegated to end users, an IPv4 address shortage has been developing.

An IPv4 address like 192.168.1.1 has 32 bits. Each decimal number is called an octect (8 bits).

The total number of usable IPv4 addresses is about 3.7 billion, and the world is running out of them. So a new type of IP addresses called IPv6 has been created. It has 128 bits. An IPv6 address looks like this: 21DA:00D3:0000:2F3B:02AA:00FF:FE28:9C5A
