IPv4 means Internet Protocol version 4
IPv6 means Internet Protocol version 6IPv4 is 32 bits IP address that we use commonly, it can be 192.168.8.1, 10.3.4.5 or other 32 bits IP addresses. IPv4 can support up to 232 addresses, however the 32 bits IPv4 addresses are finishing to be used in near future, so IPv6 is developed as a replacement. IPv6 is 128 bits, can support up to 2128 addresses to fulfill future needs with better security and network related features

1..IPv4 Subnetting is possible whereas in IPv6 subnetting is not possible

2..IPv4 has 4 octet and each octet is of 8 bit(total 32 bit) whereas in IPv6 has 8 octet and each octet is of 16 bit(Total 128 bit)

3..In IPv4 we use .(dot) to separate the octet whereas in IPv6 we use :(Colon) to separate the octet

6in4 is an Internet transition mechanism for migrating from Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) to IPv6. 6in4 uses tunneling to encapsulate IPv6 traffic over explicitly-configured IPv4 links

6to4 is an Internet transition mechanism for migrating from IPv4 to IPv6, a system that allows IPv6 packets to be transmitted over an IPv4 network (generally the IPv4 Internet) without the need to configure explicit tunnels.
