Examples

  • In order for DirectAccess to communicate over the Internet, bridging protocols such as 6to4 or Teredo have to be used to encapsulate IPv6 packets over any IPv4 medium or network device.

  • There is nothing wrong with sending a request for IPv6 addresses over IPv4 or the other way around, though. 6to4 creates some problems

  • The problem with 6to4 is that it depends on gateways operated by volunteers.

  • Let's fix that: Macs would use the 6to4 automatic tunneling mechanism where available in the past, but since the Mac OS X 10.6.5 update that came out last year

  • Mac OS X 10.6 update, pretty much all operating systems prefer to use IPv4 over 6to4 IPv6 so broken 6to4 shouldn't cause any problems if there is still working IPv4.

  • Broken IPv6 connectivity is often caused by 6to4 tunnels that don't work. 6to4 is a system whereby a computer or a home gateway can create IPv6 addresses from an IPv4 address and connect to the IPv6 Internet by encapsulating IPv6 packets inside IPv4 packets.
