Today I'm going to tell you how to get a free IPv6 If you ISP does not provide one or if your Modem / Router does not support it. Do note this guide is only for Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8 / Windows 10. (Have Not Tried On Linux) 1. ) Signup for an account in TunnelBroker. Be ready to provide information, such as your valid email address. The password will be delivered to your email. 2. ) Once you have logged in, click “Create regular Tunnel†under User Functions in the left-hand side of the screen. NOTE: you can also create BGP tunnel (haven’t tried yet) 3. ) In the “Setup IPv6 Regular Tunnel†page, input your public IPv4 address. Note that this should be reachable via ICMP ( ping ) before it can be added. 4. ) Select the server closest to you. I chose Miami, FL, US. Then Submit. 5. ) Check the Tunnel Details for your newly created tunnel. You are allowed to create a maximum of 5 tunnels for your account. 6. ) Open Notepad ( Run As Administrator ) 7. ) Copy & Paste Tunnel Details into Notepad then save as IPv6.bat 8. ) https://ipv6test.google.com NOTE: use the IPv4 address you get from your DHCP instead of the IPv4 endpoint you provided to the broker. If You Run Into Any Problems Just Post Here!
IPv6 reduces the size of routing tables and makes routing more efficient and hierarchical. IPv6 allows ISPs to aggregate the prefixes of their customers' networks into a single prefix and announce this one prefix to the IPv6 Internet. In addition, in IPv6 networks, fragmentation is handled by the source device, rather than the router, using a protocol for discovery of the path's maximum transmission unit (MTU).
2. ) More Efficient Packet Processing
IPv6's simplified packet header makes packet processing more efficient. Compared with IPv4, IPv6 contains no IP-level checksum, so the checksum does not need to be recalculated at every router hop. Getting rid of the IP-level checksum was possible because most link-layer technologies already contain checksum and error-control capabilities. In addition, most transport layers, which handle end-to-end connectivity, have a checksum that enables error detection.
3. ) Directed Data Flows
IPv6 supports multicast rather than broadcast. Multicast allows bandwidth-intensive packet flows (like multimedia streams) to be sent to multiple destinations simultaneously, saving network bandwidth. Disinterested hosts no longer must process broadcast packets. In addition, the IPv6 header has a new field, named Flow Label, that can identify packets belonging to the same flow.
4. ) Simplified Network Configuration
Address auto-configuration (address assignment) is built in to IPv6. A router will send the prefix of the local link in its router advertisements. A host can generate its own IP address by appending its link-layer (MAC) address, converted into Extended Universal Identifier (EUI) 64-bit format, to the 64 bits of the local link prefix.
5. ) Support For New Services
By eliminating Network Address Translation (NAT), true end-to-end connectivity at the IP layer is restored, enabling new and valuable services. Peer-to-peer networks are easier to create and maintain, and services such as VoIP and Quality of Service (QoS) become more robust.
6. ) Security
IPSec, which provides confidentiality, authentication and data integrity, is baked into in IPv6. Because of their potential to carry malware, IPv4 ICMP packets are often blocked by corporate firewalls, but ICMPv6, the implementation of the Internet Control Message Protocol for IPv6, may be permitted because IPSec can be applied to the ICMPv6 packets.
