UnicastAdressenformen
UnicastAdressenformen refer to the ways in which unicast IP addresses are structured and represented. A unicast address is a network address that uniquely identifies a single interface on a network, meaning data sent to a unicast address is delivered to that specific interface only. This is in contrast to broadcast or multicast addresses, which are intended for multiple recipients.
There are two primary versions of IP addresses: IPv4 and IPv6, each with its own distinct unicast
IPv4 unicast addresses are 32-bit numbers, typically represented in dotted-decimal notation. This notation consists of four
IPv6 unicast addresses are 128-bit numbers, designed to overcome the limitations of IPv4. They are usually represented
Understanding these different address forms is crucial for network configuration, routing, and troubleshooting, as they dictate
