Microsoft Research [17] releases its first experimental IPv6 stack. This support is not intended for use in a production environment. 1999: In February, the IPv6 Forum [18] is founded by the IETF Deployment WG to drive deployment worldwide. This results in the creation of regional and local IPv6 Task Forces.
Hardcoded to send DNS requests to 8.8.8.8, or the DHCPv4 designated DNS server as a fallback if 8.8.8.8 is unreachable. Only requests A records, not AAAA, meaning it is completely dependent on IPv4. LG webOS and other LG webOS applications run fine without IPv4 access, so it is not the fault of the operating system. [3] Thermomix: Thermomix OS ...
Windows XP users can use Dibbler, an open source DHCPv6 implementation. --update: Windows XP fully supports IPv6- but NOT IPv6 DNS queries (nslookup) [30] 6.x (Vista, 7, 8, 8.1), 10 RTM-Anniversary Update: Yes [31] Yes Yes [9] No rdnssd-win32 provides an open source implementation of ND RDNSS [32] 10 Creators Update and later Yes [31] Yes Yes ...
Thus, IPv6-aware hosts behind NATs can serve as Teredo tunnel endpoints even when they don't have a dedicated public IPv4 address. In effect, a host that implements Teredo can gain IPv6 connectivity with no cooperation from the local network environment. In the long term, all IPv6 hosts should use native IPv6 connectivity.
The IPv6 protocol stack also includes duplicate address detection to avoid conflicts with other hosts. In IPv4, the method is called link-local address autoconfiguration. [1] However, Microsoft refers to this as Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) [3] or Internet Protocol Automatic Configuration (IPAC).
NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP) is a protocol introduced by Apple as an alternative to IGDP. Port Control Protocol (PCP) is a successor of NAT-PMP. UPnP Internet Gateway Device Protocol (UPnP IGD) is supported by many small NAT gateways in home or small office settings. It allows a device on a network to ask the router to open a port.
Happy Eyeballs (also called Fast Fallback) is an algorithm published by the IETF that makes dual-stack applications (those that understand both IPv4 and IPv6) more responsive to users by attempting to connect using both IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time (preferring IPv6), thus minimizing IPv6 brokenness and DNS whitelisting experienced by users that have imperfect IPv6 connections or setups.
6in4, sometimes referred to as SIT, [a] is an IPv6 transition mechanism for migrating from Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) to IPv6. It is a tunneling protocol that encapsulates IPv6 packets on specially configured IPv4 links according to the specifications of RFC 4213. The IP protocol number for 6in4 is 41, per IANA reservation.
