Answer : IPv6 provides more addresses than IPv4.

Explanation:

IPv4 uses 32 bits for an IP address that allows about 4 billion unique IP addresses. When IPv4 was introduced in the 1970s and accepted as the protocol for the Internet, they did not foresee this explosion in the popularity of the Internet or the extent to which online technologies would become all pervasive. It was therefore firmly believed that these 4 billion addresses would be sufficient to cover any future growth of the Internet.

IPv6 uses 128 bits for IPv6 addresses which allows for 340 billion billion billion billion (3.4x1038) unique addresses.
