A common method is to direct all World Wide Web traffic to a web server, which returns an HTTP redirect to a captive portal. [8] When a modern, Internet-enabled device first connects to a network, it sends out an HTTP request to a detection URL predefined by its vendor and expects an HTTP status code 200 OK or 204 No Content.
6rd is a mechanism to facilitate IPv6 rapid deployment across IPv4 infrastructures of Internet service providers (ISPs).. The protocol is derived from 6to4, a preexisting mechanism to transfer IPv6 packets over the IPv4 network, with the significant change that it operates entirely within the end-user's ISP network, thus avoiding the major architectural problems inherent in the design of 6to4.
Officially, this mechanism was created for Microsoft Windows XP and onwards PCs to provide IPv6 connectivity to IPv4 clients by connecting to ipv6.microsoft.com and works in conjunction with IP Helper service and Teredo Tunneling Adapter Interface driver. The service also opens a UPNP port on the router for relaying.
There is a difference between a "relay router" and a "border router" (also known as a "6to4 border router"). A 6to4 border router is an IPv6 router supporting a 6to4 pseudo-interface. It is normally the border router between an IPv6 site and a wide-area IPv4 network, where the IPv6 site uses 2002:: / 16 co-related to the IPv4 address used later ...
Cisco Systems introduces IPv6 support on Cisco IOS routers and L3 switches. [21] HP introduces IPv6 with HP-UX 11i v1. [22] On April 23, 2001, the European Commission launches the European IPv6 Task Force [23] 2002: Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 SP1 have limited IPv6 support for research and testing since at least 2002.
ICMPv6 provides a minimal level of message integrity verification by the inclusion of a 16-bit checksum in its header. The checksum is calculated starting with a pseudo-header of IPv6 header fields according to the IPv6 standard, [6] which consists of the source and destination addresses, the packet length and the next header field, the latter of which is set to the value 58.
Anycast is a network addressing and routing methodology in which a single IP address is shared by devices (generally servers) in multiple locations. Routers direct packets addressed to this destination to the location nearest the sender, using their normal decision-making algorithms, typically the lowest number of BGP network hops.
Supports IPv6 addresses under Windows using brackets as [IPv6]:port Windows File Explorer: Windows Tested with Windows 7–10, maybe XP: Yes Supports IPv6 addresses in the address field, using \\fe80--abcd-eff0.ipv6-literal.net using dashes instead of colons. Microsoft Exchange Server [1] Windows 2013+ Yes Internet Explorer [1] Windows 9+ Yes
