Therefore, IPv6 has a vastly enlarged address space compared to IPv4. An example
of an IPv6 address is “2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334”
Prefix Length: enter the Prefix length of the Subnet Mask here; The subnet mask was
the forerunner of the modern IP address prefix length. For example a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 conveys exactly the same information as a prefix length of /24, a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.240 is equivalent to a prefix length of /28.

gateway is the node on the computer network that the network software uses when an
IP address does not match any other routes in the routing table.
