3.1.3 IPv6 Setup
The growth of the Internet has created a need for more addresses than are possible with IPv4.
IPv6
(
Internet Protocol version 6
) is a version of the Internet Protocol (IP) intended to succeed IPv4,
which is the protocol currently used to direct almost all Internet traffic. IPv6 also implements
additional features not present in IPv4. It simplifies aspects of address assignment (stateless
address auto-configuration), network renumbering and router announcements when changing
Internet connectivity providers. This router supports various types of IPv6 connection (Static IPv6
/ DHCPv6 / PPPoE / 6 to 4 / IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel).
