An IPv4 address has 32 bits, so there are 232 (over 4 billion) possible IPv4 addresses. Since the Internet is gaining devices quickly, we will soon surpass 232 unique devices on the Internet.

Which of the following statements correctly describes how many more addresses will be possible to represent by switching from IPv4 to IPv6?

296 times as many addresses can be represented with IPv6
