1. Differentiate between IPv4 and IPv6.

IPv4: 32-bit address, uses dot-decimal notation, supports ~4.3B devices.

IPv6: 128-bit address, uses hexadecimal colon format, supports huge number of devices.

IPv4 uses ARP; IPv6 uses NDP.

IPv6 offers better security and auto-configuration.

2. Compare TCP and UDP.

TCP: Connection-oriented, reliable, slower, used in HTTP/FTP.

UDP: Connectionless, faster, no guarantee of delivery, used in DNS/Streaming.

TCP has error checking and flow control; UDP does not.

3. Draw and explain the IPv6 protocol format.

IPv6 Header fields: Version, Traffic Class, Flow Label, Payload Length,

Next Header, Hop Limit, Source and Destination Address.

Fixed header size: 40 bytes. No checksum field.

4. State the use of six flags in the TCP header.

URG: Urgent data

ACK: Acknowledgement

PSH: Push function

RST: Reset connection

SYN: Synchronize sequence number

FIN: Finish session

5. Describe the RIP message format.

Command (1 byte), Version (1 byte), Unused (2 bytes),

Routing entries (max 25): AFI, Route Tag, IP, Subnet, Next Hop, Metric (4 bytes each).
