The following are the top 10 types of packets:
IPv4:
Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) IPv4 is a connectionless protocol for use on packet-switched networks. It is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol (IP), that is one of the core protocols of standards-based internetworking methods in the Internet. It was the first version deployed for production in the ARPANET in 1983. It still used to routing most Internet traffic today, eventhough we have the next version of it,IPv6.
It is operating on best effort delivery model, i.e. it does not guarantee delivery, nor does it assure proper sequencing or avoidance of duplicate delivery. These aspects, including data integrity, are addressed by an upper layer transport protocol, such as the Transmission

With the rapid growth of the Internet after commercialization in the 1990s, it became evident that far more addresses than the IPv4 address space has available were necessary to connect new devices in the future. By 1998, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) had formalized the successor protocol. IPv6 uses a 128-bit address, allowing 2128, or approximately 3.4×1038 addresses, or more than 7.9×1028 times as many as IPv4, which uses 32-bit addresses and provides approximately 4.3 billion addresses. The two protocols are not designed to beinteroperable, complicating the transition to IPv6. However, several IPv6 transition mechanisms have been devised to permit communication between IPv4 and IPv6 …show more content…
• UDP:
The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is defined for use with IP network layer protocol in the transport layer protocol. It provides a best-effort datagram service to an End System (IP host). It uses a simple connectionless transmission model with a minimum of protocol mechanism. It uses no handshaking dialogues, and thus the user's program is exposed to any unreliability of the underlying network protocol. There is no guarantee of delivery, ordering, or duplicate protection. UDP provides checksums for data integrity, and port numbers for addressing different functions at the source and destination of the datagram.
• HTTP
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems.[1] HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web.
Hypertext is structured text that uses logical links (hyperlinks) between nodes containing text. HTTP is the protocol to exchange or transfer
With admirable foresight, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) initiated as early as in 1994, the design and development of a suite of protocols and standards now known as Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), as a worthy tool to phase out and supplant IPv4 over the coming years. There is an explosion of sorts in the number and range of IP capable devices that are being released in the market and the usage of these by an increasingly tech savvy global population. The new protocol aims to effectively support the ever-expanding Internet usage and functionality, and also address security concerns.
The World Wide Web uses 3 protocols HTML (hypertext markup language), HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) and URLS (uniform resource locator). HTML is the coding language of the World Wide Web and gives the ability to
The TCP/IP protocols are the heart and soul of the Internet, and they describe the fundamental rules that govern all communications in the network. The original address system of the Internet is Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) developed IPv6 to deal with the long-anticipated problem of IPv4 address exhaustion. However, IPv6 is not foreseen to supplant IPv4 instantaneously.
The purpose of the HTTP is to secure data when you are using the internet. All the data is encoded when you
The Internet Protocol (IP) is the most broadly utilized protocol as a part of web communications because of its consistent communication technology . such a variety of individuals are relying upon the protocol, because of the security examinations the IP got numerous patches and modification as it has been sent comprehensively.
UDP uses a simple transmission model without implicit hand-shaking dialogues for providing reliability, ordering, or data integrity. Thus, UDP provides an unreliable service and datagrams may arrive out of order, appear duplicated, or go missing without notice. UDP

On the Web (which uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, or HTTP), an example of a URL is:
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the next protocol version that it is used for communications on Internet. The Internet based on IPv4 protocol has made countless success in the past 20 years. Yet it has some limitations that were not estimated when it was first created, the IPv4 protocol cannot content the requirements of the Internet expanding. It is reported that all unallocated addresses for IPv4 will be used up within 5 to 6 years. IPv6 protocol suite was presented in IETF (Internet Engineer Task Force) on 1994. This suite is using 128-bit address instead of 32-bit IPv4 address. The United States, Europe, and East Asia were the first to recognize the significance of IPv6 and plan to deploy it. Transition to IPv6 has been documented as the most promising direction, because Ipv6 overcomes many of IPv4 limitations, and it is the only viable long-term replacement for IPv4.
The components in the internet abide to some rules also called protocol to perform the task. The web or World wide web is one such thing. It is basically a system of interconnected servers that support special formatted documents. These documents are formatted in markup language, HTML (Hypertext markup language), it supports link or references to other documents, as well as audio, video and graphics. Whether you build web pages for personal or for professional purposes, you will find it useful to review and learn a few technologies that make up the internet, and to understand the importance of the medium and the factors that influence how information is published.
Even though IPv6 version is available to be used IPv4 will be allowed to use for still a long time. In this paper we have discussed what is IPv4 and IPv6. Now we will shed some light in IPv4 addressing i.e. classful networking and sub netting(taking a large network and dividing it into smaller parts), private addresses etc. IPv4 is default and by far most popular version used on internet. Though there was no IPv5 version which was implemented they switched to IPv6. In case of IPv4 TCP/IP protocols are combined together to for a complete network solution. TCP is responsible for keeping messages in order and transmitting data when lost while IP id responsible for sending from one location to other. It is already stated that IPv4 is a 32bit size protocol with 4 octets.
Internet protocol written as IP in the short form is the method by which one computer communicates by sending data to another computer over the Internet. Normally, each computer has a unique form of IP address that identifies itself on the internet. Internet protocol has two versions: Internet protocol version 4 and Internet protocol version 6 that is the most current version of IPV6 is an upgrade of IPV4 (Gavrilova 2006). IPV6 has added advantages and therefore necessitates every organization to migrate from IPV4 to IPV6.
The internet, in its simplest form, is nothing more than two or more computers with the ability to connect to each other. Each computer or machine must, therefore, have its own unique IP (Internet Protocol) address. IP addresses are constructed in the form of nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn where nnn is a number between 0 – 255 (Shuler, 2002).
