The first characteristic is that the IPv4 is completely connectionless. The second is that they are media independent and can be unreliable.
IPv4 basic characteristics: Connectionless - No connection is established before sending data packets. Best Effort (unreliable) - No overhead is used to guarantee packet delivery. Media Independent - Operates independently of the medium carrying the data.

IPv4 was described in RFC 791 in September 1981.
IPV4 is a kind of IP Address.
Minimal bytes required in IPv4 header are 20 i.e. 20 bytes are mandatory. And total bytes in IPv4 header are 60.
IPv6 has a larger address space compared to IPv4, allowing for more unique addresses. This solves the issue of address exhaustion seen in IPv4.
