4in6 is an IPv6 -Übergangsmechanismus, the transmission of IPv4 - data packets enables an IPv6 network.
functionality
With 4in6, the IPv4 data traffic is packaged in IPv6 data packets to enable IPv4 nodes to establish a tunnel through an IPv6 network. As a result of the encapsulation of the IPv4 data packets in IPv6 data packets, IPv4 nodes that do not support IPv6 can still communicate via an IPv6 network.
What is needed is on both sides of a dual-stack - router that supports the parallel operation of both protocols. From the perspective of the IPv4 nodes, the IPv6 infrastructure is used as a link layer (security layer in the OSI model ).
4in6 tunnels can be configured manually or automatically using other protocols such as TSP .
4in6 can only be implemented via tunnel brokers . Mostly these are internet providers who offer IPv6 transitions for specific countries or regions and can only be used after prior registration.
