IPv4 vs IPv6 vs Gigabit Ethernet
IP vs. Gigabit - Related Articles
IPv4, IPv6, Gigabit Ethernet! Are they the same? Or how are they
interrelated?
In a
Nutshell: IPv4 and
IPv6 are the addresses given to the devices that are connected in and across the
network for identification that use the internet protocol. Wherein, Gigabit
Ethernet is itself a protocol related to physical transmission or reception of
the data in the network at hardware level.
What is Internet protocol and what is its purpose?
TCP/IP: It specifies
how data is exchanged over the internet by providing end-to-end communications
that identify how it should be broken into packets, addressed, transmitted,
routed and received at the destination.

Gigabit
Ethernet: Transmission technology based on the Ethernet frame format
and protocol used in local area networks (LANs), provides a data rate of 1
billion bits per second (one gigabit).

and IP address plays their roles in different layers respectively!
