What happens to my IP addresses when I connect using IPv6?

Here's what you get when your connection is set up for IPv6:

• Your existing IPv4 address (if static) and any existing framed route(s).
• A dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 PPP session.
• A dynamic /64 IPv6 prefix for your PPP session.
• A static /56 IPv6 prefix for your LAN (if you are using a router with Prefix Delegation).

What happens with traffic metering on IPv6? Is
unmetered content still unmetered?

While you are using IPv6 broadband, any traffic which is currently unmetered
will continue to be unmetered.

How do hosts on my LAN obtain globally routed IPv6 addresses?

Your IPv6 Access Device/router should assign /64 subnets to its interfaces after it obtains a DHCPv6 PD lease. It should then offer the prefix to your hosts via IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration. In more complicated set-ups, you may choose to use DHCPv6 as well.

Which access devices will work with Internode IPv6 Broadband?

All routers currently sold by Internode support IPv6 'out of the box'. We also work with other routers that support IPv6, of course, although any technical support is offered on a 'best effort' basis - you may need to contact your router's manufacturer for assistance.

Here is a summary of the feedback we have received for Access Devices with some IPv6 features:

Internode supported routers

Other access devices with IPv6 features

Any technical support for the below routers is offered on a 'best effort' basis - you may need to contact your router's manufacturer for assistance.

IPv6 access is also possible by placing an ADSL access device into 'Bridge Mode' and using IPv6 over PPPoE directly on a personal computer.

IPv6 PPPoE support is available in current versions of Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and most versions of Linux.

NOTE: direct Internet access using a 'bridging' access device combined with PPPoE on a personal computer bypasses any security/firewall features of your ADSL access device, and should only be done if you are comfortable that the security and firewall settings on your personal computer are appropriate for this access method.
