The above diagram depicts DHCP IPv6 IP addressing. The DHCPv6 server on the ISP side assigns IPv6 address,
IPv6 default gateway address, and IPv6 DNS to client hosts automatically.
PPPoEv6
PPPoEv6 in IPv6 performs the same function as PPPoE in IPv4. The PPPoEv6 server provides configuration
parameters based on PPPoEv6 client requests. When a PPPoEv6 server gets a client request and successfully
authenticates it, the server sends IP address, DNS server addresses and other required parameters to
automatically configure the client.
The diagram above depicts the IPv6 addressing through PPPoE, PPPoEv6 server (DSLAM) on the ISP side
provides IPv6 configuration upon receiving PPPoEv6 client request. When PPPoEv6 server gets client request
and successfully authenticates it, the server sends IP address, DNS server addresses and other required
parameters to automatically configure the client.
6to4
6to4 is one mechanism to establish automatic IPv6 in IPv4 tunnels and to enable complete IPv6 site
communication. The only thing a 6to4 user needs is a global IPv4 address.
6to4 may be used by an individual host, or by a local IPv6 network. When used by a host, it must have a global
IPv4 address connected, and the host is responsible for encapsulation of outgoing IPv6 packets and
decapsulation of incoming 6to4 packets. If the host is configured to forward packets for other clients, often a
local network, it is then a router.
