Mageia has had full support for IPv6 only and IPv4 + IPv6 since Mageia 7, as well as continuing to support IPv4 only systems. [15] macOS: Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) Yes Yes Yes [16] Yes [17] Versions 10.7 through 10.10 often prefer IPv4 even when working IPv6 connectivity is available. [18]
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.

4over6 is an IPv6 transition technology intended as a mechanism for Internet service providers to provide continued access to the IPv4 Internet over an IPv6-only service provider infrastructure. There are currently two versions of the protocol: Public 4over6 which is deployed but not recommended for new implementations, [ 1 ] and Lightweight ...
This is a list of the IP protocol numbers found in the field Protocol of the IPv4 header and the Next Header field of the IPv6 header.It is an identifier for the encapsulated protocol and determines the layout of the data that immediately follows the header.
A previous format, called "IPv4-compatible IPv6 address", was ::192.0.2.128; however, this method is deprecated. [35] Because of the significant internal differences between IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks, some of the lower-level functionality available to programmers in the IPv6 stack does not work the same when used with IPv4-mapped addresses.
An IPv6 transition mechanism is a technology that facilitates the transitioning of the Internet from the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) infrastructure in use since 1983 to the successor addressing and routing system of Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6). As IPv4 and IPv6 networks are not directly interoperable, transition technologies are ...
As of June 2012, the ISP named RCS&RDS offers dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 PPPoE services to current home users using modern versions of Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and other IPv6-ready devices. [232] More than 1 million RCS & RDS residential customers can now use native IPv6 on a dual-stack PPPoE connection and 16% [233] already do.
Miredo [1] is a Teredo tunneling client designed to allow full IPv6 connectivity to computer systems which are on the IPv4-based Internet but which have no direct native connection to an IPv6 network. Miredo is included in many Linux [2] [3] and BSD [4] [5] distributions and is also available for recent versions of Mac OS X. [6] (Discontinued)
