6over4 , also known as “ IPv6 over IPv4 ”, is an IPv6 transition mechanism for the transport of IPv6 data packets between dual-stack nodes that are connected via an IPv4 network. This mechanism requires an IPv4 multicast infrastructure.
functionality
With 6over4, a link-local IPv6 address is generated from an IPv4 address . To do this, the IPv4 address is fe80::preceded by the character string .
The following algorithm is used to generate the address :
FE80::/64:<Interface-Identifier>
The interface identifier is formed as follows:
0000:0000:<IPv4-Adresse>
Example:
The 91.198.174.225following link-local address is derived from the IPv4 address:
fe80:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:91.198.174.225 respectively
fe80:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:5BC6:AEE1 or short: fe80::5BC6:AEE1
A special mechanism enables Neighbor Discovery for IPv4. From the perspective of the IPv4 nodes, the IPv6 infrastructure is used as a link layer (security layer in the OSI model ).
Compared to other IPv6 transition mechanisms, 6over4 is rarely used. The tunneling method used can cause throughput problems in the network and offers less security for data transmission than other methods.
