The Subnet Mask
three dotted decimal IPv4 addresses must be configured when assigning an IPv4 configuration to host:

-
Default gateway – Identifies the local gateway (i.e. local router interface IPv4 address) to reach remote networks
When an IPv4 address is assigned to a device, the subnet mask is used to determine the network address where the device belongs.
the dotted decimal address and the 32-bit subnet mask. Notice how the subnet mask is essentially a sequence of 1 bits followed by a sequence of 0 bits.
Unicast - An IPv6 unicast address uniquely identifies an interface on an IPv6-enabled device. As shown in the figure, a source IPv6 address must be a unicast address.
Multicast - An IPv6 multicast address is used to send a single IPv6 packet to multiple destinations.
Anycast - An IPv6 anycast address is any IPv6 unicast address that can be assigned to multiple devices. A packet sent to an anycast address is routed to the nearest device having that address.
Logical AND
The other two are OR and NOT. While all three are used in data networks, only AND is used in determining the network address.
Therefore, our discussion here will be limited to the logical AND operation.
To identify the network address of an IPv4 host, the IPv4 address is logically ANDed, bit by bit, with the subnet mask.

The Prefix Length
Expressing network addresses and host addresses with the dotted decimal subnet mask address can become cumbersome.
Fortunately, there is an alternate shorthand method of identifying a subnet mask called the prefix length.
Specifically, the prefix length is the number of bits set to 1 in the subnet mask.
It is written in “slash notation”, which is a “/” followed by the number of bits set to 1.
Therefore, count the number of bits in the subnet mask and prepend it with a slash.

The Need for IPv6
IPv6 is designed to be the successor to IPv4. IPv6 has a larger 128-bit address space, providing for 340 undecillion addresses
One example is Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6), which includes address resolution and address auto-configuration not found in ICMP for IPv4 (ICMPv4).
