The IPv6 subnet size is standardized by fixing the size of the host identifier portion of an address to 64 bits. The addressing architecture of IPv6 is defined in RFC 4291 and allows three different types of transmission: unicast, anycast and multicast. [5]: 210
It has IPv6 connectivity via KAREN and its commercial ISP. Computer Science is fully dual-stacked; IPv6 has been used in undergraduate laboratory assignments and for post-graduate projects. KAREN, New Zealand's R&E network, is an IPv6 native network and has provided IPv6 as a standard service offering to its members since 2006.
The management of IPv6 address allocation process is delegated to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) [16] by the Internet Architecture Board and the Internet Engineering Steering Group. Its main function is the assignment of large address blocks to the regional Internet registries (RIRs), which have the delegated task of allocation ...
The current namespace architecture used by the Internet Protocol uses IP addresses for two separate functions: as an end-point identifier to uniquely identify a network interface within its local network addressing context; as a locator for routing purposes, to identify where a network interface is located within a larger routing context
The 6bone was a testbed for Internet Protocol version 6; it was an outgrowth of the IETF IPng project that created the IPv6 protocols intended to eventually replace the current Internet network layer protocols known as IPv4. The 6bone was started outside the official IETF process at the March 1996 IETF meetings, and became a worldwide informal ...

IVI Translation refers to a stateless IPv4/IPv6 translation technique. [1] It allows hosts in different address families (IPv4 and IPv6) communicate with each other and keeps the end-to-end address transparency. [2] Stateless NAT64 can be used in 4 different scenarios: [3] An IPv6 network to the IPv4 Internet; The IPv4 Internet to an IPv6 network
ISATAP typically builds its Potential Router List (PRL) by consulting the DNS; hence, in the OSI model it is a lower-layer protocol that relies on a higher layer. A circularity is avoided by relying on an IPv4 DNS server, which does not rely on IPv6 routing being established; however, some network specialists claim that these violations lead to insufficient protocol robustness.
