Correct Answer:
Verified

The most notable difference between IP addresses in IPv4 and IPv6 is their size. While IPv4 addresses are composed of 32 bits, IPv6 addresses are composed of eight 16-bit fields, for a total of 128 bits. The added fields and the larger address size result in an increase of 296 (or 4 billion times 4 billion times 4 billion) available IP addresses in the IPv6 addressing scheme. The addition of more IP addresses not only allows every interface on every Internet-connected device to have a unique number, but also eliminates the need for IP address conservation. With the increasing number of network-enabled devices, including handheld computers, telephones, home security systems, traffic cameras, and even pet tracking systems, the limited quantity of IPv4 addresses posed a serious bottleneck.

A(n) ____ address represents any one interface from a group of interfaces, any one of which can accept a transmission.
