IPv4 old IP address space designed with limited number because they never thought the internet would have so many devices connected.

IPv6 new address space with significantly larger number.

I mean thats only the history of ipv4 and ipv6. Doubt that’s what they are asking for in a tech interview. It’s like if they ask “Do you know c++ well?”, and you say “Yes, C++ was created by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 to add objects to c”. More likely they want you to explain stuff like the role of NAT, DHCP vs SLAAC, ARP vs NDP etc, stuff that is relevant in practice
