3.1.3 IPv6

The growth of the Internet has created a need for more addresses than are possible with

IPv4. IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is a version of the Internet Protocol (IP)

intended to succeed IPv4, which is the protocol currently used to direct almost all Internet

traffic. IPv6 also implements additional features not present in IPv4. It simplifies aspects of

address assignment (stateless address auto-configuration), network renumbering and

router announcements when changing Internet connectivity providers.

This device supports IPv6, it works as a IPv6 bridge, you can use it to build a IPv6

network.
