Answer:

From the given address: 7d2b:00a9:a0c4:0000:a772:00fd:a523:0358

We can see that:

  • There are 8 groups separated by a colon.
  • Each group is made up of 4 hexadecimal digits.

In general, Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the Internet Protocol (IP) which was developed to deal with the expected anticipation of IPv4 address exhaustion.

The IPv6 addresses are in the format of a 128-bit alphanumeric string which is divided into 8 groups of four hexadecimal digits. Each group represents 16 bits.

Since the size of an IPv6 address is 128 bits, the address space has
2^(128) addresses.
