i found this link for How to calculate number of hosts between two ips
for ipv4 How to calculate number of hosts between two ips? c#



is there any calculation like that for ipv6
for example between: 2a00:1288:110:8b1::2000 and 2a00:1288:110:8b1::21f9



Please help

    It's just hexadecimal math. You can do that in just about any language. But the number of hosts between those two addresses is usually zero, not the same as the number of addresses.

  • There are only two IPs (IPv4 and IPv6). IP means Internet Protocol. The title doesn't make any real sense. Perhaps you mean, "How to calculate number of addresses between two IPv6 addresses?"

  • did you have a language in mind? If the answer you want is hosts, do you need to take into account that a host normally gets a /64?

An IPv6 address is a 128 bit number. Like the IPv4 example, use the language functions to convert it to this number and take the differences between the two.
