Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The IP header is a minimum of 20 bytes (160 bits) in length, containing various fields such as version, total length, source/destination addresses, protocol, and checksum. This is known as IPv4. IPv6 headers are larger and can range from 40 to 60 bytes. Option A and D are incorrect as they mention bits and not bytes. Option C is also incorrect as 8 bytes is too small for an IP header.
