An IPv6 network uses an address block that is a contiguous group of IPv6 addresses of a size that is a power of two. The leading set of bits of the addresses are identical for all hosts in a given network, and are called the network's address or routing prefix. Network address ranges are written in CIDR notation.
If IPv4 is still used in the local area network (LAN), however, and the ISP can only provide one public-facing IPv6 address, the IPv4 LAN addresses are translated into the public facing IPv6 address using NAT64, a network address translation (NAT) mechanism. Some ISPs cannot provide their customers with public-facing IPv4 and IPv6 addresses ...
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]
Apple Open Directory is the LDAP directory service model implementation from Apple Inc. A directory service is software which stores and organizes information about a computer network's users and network resources and which allows network administrators to manage users' access to the resources.
Link-local addresses may be assigned manually by an administrator or by automatic operating system procedures. In Internet Protocol (IP) networks, they are assigned most often using stateless address autoconfiguration, a process that often uses a stochastic process to select the value of link-local addresses, assigning a pseudo-random address that is different for each session.
A unique local address (ULA) is an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address in the address range fc00:: / 7. [1] These addresses are non-globally reachable [2] (routable only within the scope of private networks, but not the global IPv6 Internet). Because they are not globally reachable, ULAs are somewhat analogous to IPv4 private network ...
A public IP address is a globally routable unicast IP address, meaning that the address is not an address reserved for use in private networks, such as those reserved by RFC 1918, or the various IPv6 address formats of local scope or site-local scope, for example for link-local addressing. Public IP addresses may be used for communication ...
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. Auckland-based ISP WorldxChange Communications has had dual-stack since 2008. It has started providing residential customers with dual (IPv4 and IPv6) service using DHCPv6, on a trial basis. [214]
