6to4

Index 6to4

6to4 is an Internet transition mechanism for migrating from Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) to version 6 (IPv6), a system that allows IPv6 packets to be transmitted over an IPv4 network (generally the IPv4 Internet) without the need to configure explicit tunnels. [1]

Anycast

Anycast is a network addressing and routing methodology in which a single destination address has multiple routing paths to two or more endpoint destinations.

Autonomous system (Internet)

Within the Internet, an autonomous system (AS) is a collection of connected Internet Protocol (IP) routing prefixes under the control of one or more network operators on behalf of a single administrative entity or domain that presents a common, clearly defined routing policy to the Internet.

Brian Carpenter (Internet engineer)

Brian Edward Carpenter (born 30 May 1946) is a British Internet engineer and past chair of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

Default gateway

A default gateway is the node in a computer network using the Internet Protocol Suite that serves as the forwarding host (router) to other networks when no other route specification matches the destination IP address of a packet.

DNS zone

A DNS zone is any distinct, contiguous portion of the domain name space in the Domain Name System (DNS) for which administrative responsibility has been delegated to a single manager.

Encapsulation (networking)

In computer networking, encapsulation is a method of designing modular communication protocols in which logically separate functions in the network are abstracted from their underlying structures by inclusion or information hiding within higher level objects.

Internet

The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide.

IPv4

Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol (IP).

New!!: 6to4 and IPv4 · See more »

IPv6

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol (IP), the communications protocol that provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and routes traffic across the Internet.

IPv6 packet

An IPv6 packet is the smallest message entity exchanged via the Internet Protocol across an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) network.

IPv6 rapid deployment

6rd is a mechanism to facilitate IPv6 rapid deployment across IPv4 infrastructures of Internet service providers (ISPs).

Keith Moore

Keith Moore (born October 12, 1960) is the author and co-author of several IETF RFCs related to the MIME and SMTP protocols for electronic mail, among others.

Regional Internet registry

A regional Internet registry (RIR) is an organization that manages the allocation and registration of Internet number resources within a particular region of the world.

Reverse DNS lookup

In computer networks, a reverse DNS lookup or reverse DNS resolution (rDNS) is the querying of the Domain Name System (DNS) to determine the domain name associated with an IP address – the reverse of the usual "forward" DNS lookup of an IP address from a domain name.

Router (computing)

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks.

Teredo tunneling

In computer networking, Teredo is a transition technology that gives full IPv6 connectivity for IPv6-capable hosts that are on the IPv4 Internet but have no native connection to an IPv6 network.

New!!: 6to4 and Teredo tunneling · See more »

Tunneling protocol

In computer networks, a tunneling protocol is a communications protocol that allows for the secure movement of data from one network to another.

New!!: 6to4 and Tunneling protocol · See more »

Unicast

200px In computer networking, unicast refers to a one-to-one transmission from one point in the network to another point; that is, one sender and one receiver, each identified by a network address.

6in4

6in4 is an Internet transition mechanism for migrating from Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) to IPv6.
