IPv6: The New Internet Protocol

8.8 IPv6: The New Internet Protocol

IPv6 stands for Internet protocol version 6 and is the succes-

sor to IPv4.

The FRITZ!Box supports the new IPv6 web protocol and can al-

ready establish IPv6 connections today:

• IPv6 support can be switched on in the FRITZ!Box user

interface, in the “Internet / Account Information” menu.

• For simultaneous use of IPv6 and IPv4, the FRITZ!Box

supports dual-stack and dual-stack lite. This means that

the FRITZ!Box can communicate with both IPv4 and IPv6

domains in the Internet.

• The FRITZ!Box supports native IPv6 and IPv6 with a tun-

nel protocol. Native IPv6 means that your Internet Ser-

vice Provider supports IPv6 directly on your line.
