DHCP works like this:
Computer: Hey! I’m new on this network and need an address on it. Anyone here help me out?
Router: Sure Computer. I’ve got this address available for you, use this. Also, here’s some other information on the network to help you out, use it if you want.
Computer: Thanks, I’m now using the address you gave me!
IPv6 is a newer way for devices on the internet or an intranet to talk to eachother. Compared to the older protocol we all grew up with (IPv4), it’s like a barcode compared to a QR code. Barcodes are older, less complex, less information dense but more widely used. QR codes are used by newer devices and have a lot more information and flexibility.
