view hint for question 7

Explanation:

IPv4 uses 32 - bit addresses, which gives a total of \(2^{32}\) (about 4.3 billion) addresses. With the growth of the Internet (more devices like computers, smartphones, IoT devices etc. needing IP addresses), IPv4 address space was getting exhausted. IPv6 was created to solve this address depletion problem as it uses 128 - bit addresses, providing an extremely large number of addresses (\(2^{128}\)).
IPv4 can route packets on a WAN (Wide - Area Network). The statement about identifying every atom on Earth is an over - exaggeration. And copper cables are not related to the creation of IPv6.

Answer:

Because we are running out of IPv4 addresses.
