There are fields in the IPv4 header that maintain their function in the IPv6 header, but with a different name. Some examples are the field ‘TTL’, that is now replaced by ‘Hop Limit’ or the field Protocol, which function is absorbed in a more efficient way by the field ‘Next header’.

The field ‘Total Lengh’which is part of the IPv4 header, is not found in the IPv6 header. Its function was to count the size of the packet payload plus the size of a variable lenght header. As the IPv6 header has a fixed size, the presence of this field is unnecessary.
