IPv6 or Internet Protocol Version 6 is a network layer protocol that allows communication to take place over the network. IPv6 was designed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in December 1998 with the purpose of superseding the IPv4 due to the global exponentially growing internet users. IPv4 vs IPv6 The common type of IP address (is known as IPv4, for “version 4”). Here’s an example of what an IP address might look like: 192.168.1.201 An IPv4 address consists of four numbers, each of which contains one to three digits, with a single dot (.) separating each number or set of digits. Each of the four numbers can range from 0 to 255. This group of separated numbers creates the addresses that let you and...

What is netstat? Netstat — derived from the words network and statistics — is a program that’s controlled via commands issued in the command line. It delivers basic statistics on all network activities and informs users on which portsand addresses the corresponding connections (TCP, UDP) are running and which ports are open for tasks. In 1983, netstat was first implemented into the Unix derivative BSD (Berkley Software Distribution), whose version 4.2 supported the first internet protocol family, TCP/IP. netstat has been integrated into Linux since its debut in 1991 and has been present in Windows since the appearance of version 3.11 (1993), which could also communicate via TCP/IP with the help of extensions. While the parameters of netstat’s commands (as well as their outputs) differ from system to system, when it comes to their functions, the various implementations are very similar. netstat is a command line program and for this reason doesn’t feature a graphical use...
