addresses, the size of basic IPv6 headers is 40 bytes and is only twice that of IPv4
headers (excluding the Options field).

Adequate address space
The source and destination IPv6 addresses are both 128 bits (16 bytes) long. IPv6
can provide 3.4 x 10
38 addresses to completely meet the requirements of
hierarchical address division as well as allocation of public and private addresses.
Hierarchical address structure
IPv6 adopts the hierarchical address structure to quicken route search and reduce
the system source occupied by the IPv6 routing table by means of route
aggregation.
Automatic address configuration
To simplify the host configuration, IPv6 supports stateful and stateless address
configuration.
■
Stateful address configuration means that a host acquires an IPv6 address and
related information from a server (for example, DHCP server).
■
Stateless address configuration means that a host automatically configures an
IPv6 address and related information on basis of its own link-layer address and
the prefix information advertised by a router.
In addition, a host can generate a link-local address on basis of its own link-layer
address and the default prefix (FE80::/64) to communicate with other hosts on the
link.
Built-in security
IPv6 uses IPSec as its standard extension header to provide end-to-end security.
This feature provides a standard for network security solutions and improves the
interoperability between different IPv6 applications.
