When subnetting an IPv6 address block, an engineer shows a drawing that breaks the address structure into three pieces. Comparing this concept to a three-part IPv4 address structure, which part of the IPv6 address structure is most like the IPv4 network part of the address?
- Subnet
- Interface ID
- Network
- Global routing prefix
- Subnet router anycast
Explanation: The global routing prefix is the address block, represented as a prefix value and prefix length, given to an organization by some numbering authority. All IPv6 addresses inside the company have the same value in these initial bits of their IPv6 addresses.
Similarly, when a company uses a public IPv4 address block, all the addresses have the same value in the network part.
