How Does Basic IPv6 addressing Packet Tracer Work?

IPv6 is like giving every toy in your room a unique name so they can talk to each other without confusion.

Imagine you're playing with blocks and each block has a special tag on it, this tag helps the blocks know where to go when you want to stack them. In IPv6, addresses are these tags. They help computers (or toys) find each other over the internet (like your room).

Think of Packet Tracer as a toy box that lets you build and test how blocks (computers) send messages to each other.

When one computer wants to talk to another, it sends a message with the IPv6 address of the friend computer, like writing a note and putting it in an envelope addressed to your best friend. The message travels through different parts of the toy box until it reaches the correct block.

Each time the message moves from one part of the toy box (like from one block to another), it checks the address on the envelope to make sure it's going the right way, just like how you check a note’s address before delivering it to your friend.
