To provide the IP address to hosts. DHCP server will run on Same router or same server? When packets come in ipv4 format IPV4 module will do the necessary work and when IPV6 packet comes IPV6 module will do the work?

Thank you very much. We are planning to go to IPV6, is there a guide for migration? Any critical issues or anything to consider?

Thank you. I will go through this. From my understanding, as long as if hosts (windows/linux) have necessary modules to handle ipv6, then shouldn't be a problem. Can you provide me some important things which I need to consider before the migration?

Just to make sure, if we have ipv4 and ipv6, when packets comes in ipv4 format, does it translate into ipv6 handle the packets in windows? Or it handles separately?

it will also depend how application is setup or configured for which the packet are coming.
if application is setup for ipv4 and packet is coming with ipv4 then simple communication.
if application is setup for ipv6 then the translation will be done.. or ipv4 packet will be encapsulated in ipv6 packet..

ASKER

Thanks a lot. If the IPV6 packets want to go through IPV4 network, IPV6 packets need to encapsulate in IPV4, and then need to go go destination? Am I right?
