What is cFos IPv6 Link?
Connectivity with the new IPv6 network
cFos IPv6 Link allows dial-up with IPv6 for Windows XP and Vista.
Install cFos IPv6 Link, konfigure the dial-up connection to your ISP, done! Not only connects cFos IPv6 Link to the new IPv6, but it also configures the routing and the IP and DNS addresses automatically.
Under XP cFos IPv6 Link also maps IPv4-based DNS queries of IPv6 adresses.
cFos IPv6 Link is fast. LikecFos Broadband Connect it achieves a much higher throughput than the PPPoE driver shipped with XP/Vista (with a fast enough Internet connection).
Technical background:
cFos IPv6 Link installs a virtual netword adapter in the operating system and a virtual router, which is connected to this network card. cFos IPv6 Link can dial into IPv4 and IPv6 with PPPoE via a DSL-modem or router with "PPPoE passthrough" (e.g. Speedport).
cFos IPv6 Link has the following components:
- PPPoE
- PPP IPv4/IPv6
- IPv6 Neighbor discovery (ND) + DAD
- IPv6 Router Advertisement
- IPv6 DHCP (DHCPv6) statefull & stateless
- IPv4 DHCP
- IPv4 <-> IPv6 DNS Mapping
- IPv6 Router Solicitation with ISP
- DHCPv6 with ISP
Optional stateful and stateless address and routing configuration with the ISP is done via IPv6 Router Solicitation und DHCPv6. Thereby cFos IPv6 Link can automaticalle determine and configure all Parameters assigned by the ISP, like IPv6 addresss prefix, DNS addresses, etc.:
cFos IPv6 Link offers extensive logging and tracing features, which are especially useful in the beginning of the IPv6 era. cFos IPv6 Link can for example create Wireshark-compatible trace files.
System requirements:
- Windows XP / Windows Vista
- 32bit / 64bit (x64)
- DSL modem on ethernet adapter
- PPPoE internet access
