4.5.7 - IPv4 and IPv6 Transition Mechanisms

Flashcards covering key concepts and definitions related to the transition mechanisms between IPv4 and IPv6.

Dual Stack

A configuration where hosts and routers can run both IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously.

Tunneling

A technique to deliver IPv6 packets across an IPv4 network by encapsulating IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets.

6to4

An automatic tunneling mechanism that uses the prefix 2002::/16 and requires no host configuration.

IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6RD)

An enhanced tunneling protocol that replaces the 2002::/16 prefix with an ISP-managed prefix, offering various performance improvements.

Teredo

A protocol that tunnels IPv6 packets as IPv4-based UDP messages over port 3544, requiring compatible clients and servers.

Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE)

A method of encapsulating a variety of network layer protocols inside virtual point-to-point links.

Network Address Translation (NAT64)

A technique that allows IPv6 hosts to communicate with IPv4 hosts by rewriting addresses and using the prefix 64:ff9b::/96.
