Subnets are denoted using CIDR notation in IPv6. For the end user, they cover half of the available bits in the address space(/64) but there are instances where fewer are used. Interface id of each host is unique as there are different interfaces connected to same subnet.
In the provided example, IPv6 address is breakdown into :
Subnet: Shown as 2001:db8:8500:e000, typically denoted by a /64 prefix, indicating 64 bits are used for subnet identification.
Interface ID: Represented by :52b6:59cc:74e9:8b6e, uniquely identifies a device within the subnet, similar to a house number within a neighborhood.
This breakdown visually demonstrates how IPv6 addresses allocate bits for network identification (subnet) and individual device identification (interface ID)
IN IPv6 Subnets are denoted using CIDR notation . For the end user, they cover half of the available bits in the address space(/64) but there are instances where fewer are used. Interface id of each host is unique as there are different interfaces connected to same subnet.
