Q: What is the size of the payload length field in Internet Protocol (IP) v6?
- 16-bit
- 8-bit
- 32-bit
- 20-bit
Explanation: The amount of data included in the payload length field of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is represented by 16 bits. The payload length field provides information on the size of the data portion of an IPv6 packet. This portion of the packet contains any extension headers and the data (for example, the transport layer segment or the ICMPv6 message). Octets, often known as 8-bit bytes, measure the payload length.
