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. Both fields are eight bits wide.
IPv4-compatible IPv6 unicast address IPv4-mapped IPv6 unicast address Hybrid dual-stack IPv6/IPv4 implementations recognize a special class of addresses, the IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses. [ 62 ] : §2.2.3 [ 36 ] These addresses are typically written with a 96-bit prefix in the standard IPv6 format, and the remaining 32 bits are written in the ...
IPv6 addresses are assigned to organizations in much larger blocks as compared to IPv4 address assignments—the recommended allocation is a / 48 block which contains 2 80 addresses, being 2 48 or about 2.8 × 10 14 times larger than the entire IPv4 address space of 2 32 addresses and about 7.2 × 10 16 times larger than the / 8 blocks of IPv4 ...
The port numbers in the range from 0 to 1023 (0 to 2 10 − 1) are the well-known ports or system ports. [3] They are used by system processes that provide widely used types of network services. On Unix-like operating systems, a process must execute with superuser privileges to be able to bind a network socket to an IP address using one of the ...
Used for link-local addresses [5] between two hosts on a single link when no IP address is otherwise specified, such as would have normally been retrieved from a DHCP server 172.16.0.0/12 172.16.0.0–172.31.255.255
It allows hosts in different address families (IPv4 and IPv6) communicate with each other and keeps the end-to-end address transparency. [2] Stateless NAT64 can be used in 4 different scenarios: [3] An IPv6 network to the IPv4 Internet; The IPv4 Internet to an IPv6 network; An IPv6 network to an IPv4 network; An IPv4 network to an IPv6 network

Mapping of Address and Port (MAP) is a proposal that combines A+P port address translation with the tunneling of legacy IPv4 protocol packets over an ISP's internal IPv6 network. MAP uses the extra bits available in the IPv6 address to contain the extra port range identifier bits of the A+P addressing pair that cannot be encoded directly into ...
