MPLS 6PE

2023 Feb 21

MPLS 6PE MPLS 6PE is an IPv6 transition method that enables IPv6-only sites to be connected across an IPv4-only MPLS network. With this technology Service Providers can use existing IPv4 MPLS networks to connect IPv6-only sites. With MPLS 6PE dual stack IPv4/IPv6 PE routers are configured ...

MPLS 6VPE

2023 Feb 17

IPv6 L3VPN with MPLS 6VPE MPLS 6VPE enables connecting IPv6-only sites using an IPv4 MPLS network. This makes MPLS 6VPE an IPv6 transition method that leverages existing infrastructure to tunnel IPv6 traffic with label switching. As a result, Service Providers can use their IPv4 MPLS core networks to provide IPv6 services ...

IPv6 6to4 Tunnel Configuration

2023 Feb 16

IPv6 6to4 Tunnel Configuration 6to4 tunneling is a transition mechanism from IPv4 to IPv6 that enables IPv6-only sites to communicate with each other over an IPv4-only network. The prefix 2002:: /16 is used for 6to4 tunnels. IPv4 addresses are mapped to IPv6 and assigned to the tunnel interface. A 6to4 tunnel has an IPv4 source address ...

DMVPN with IPv6

2023 Feb 15

DMVPN with IPv6 DMVPN IPv6 can be configured across an IPv4-only transport network to provide connectivity between IPv6 locations. DMVPN IPv6 uses multipoint GRE tunnels to encapsulate IPv6 packets. Thus, a GRE header encapsulates IPv6 packets. In turn, an IPv4 header is used to encapsulate the GRE packet ...
