IPv6: The New Internet Protocol
IPv6 stands for Internet protocol version 6 and is the succes-
sor to IPv4.
The FRITZ!Box supports the new IPv6 web protocol and can al-
ready establish IPv6 connections today:
•
IPv6 support can be switched on in the FRITZ!Box user
interface, in the “Internet / Account Information” menu.
•
For simultaneous use of IPv6 and IPv4, the FRITZ!Box
supports dual-stack and dual-stack lite. This means that
the FRITZ!Box can communicate with both IPv4 and IPv6
domains in the Internet.
•
The FRITZ!Box supports native IPv6 and IPv6 with a tun-
nel protocol. Native IPv6 means that your Internet Ser-
vice Provider supports IPv6 directly on your line.
