What is a nibble and how is it used in IPv6 addresses?
What will be an ideal response?
A nibble is 4 bits. Because IPv6 addresses are expressed using hex characters, and because succeeding sets of 16 bits are separated with a colon, we have 4 nibbles per hextet (sometimes called a quibble, short for "quad-nibble"). Therefore, subnetting on the nibble boundary allows for easy "carving" of an address allocation.
