Set Up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel Internet Connection
The 6rd protocol makes it possible to deploy IPv6 to sites using a service provider’s IPv4 
network. 6rd uses the service provider’s own IPv6 address prefix. This limits the operational 
domain of 6rd to the service provider’s network and is under direct control of the service 
provider. The IPv6 service provided is equivalent to native IPv6.
The 6rd mechanism relies upon an algorithmic mapping between the IPv6 and IPv4 
addresses that are assigned for use within the service provider’s network. This mapping 
allows for automatic determination of IPv4 tunnel endpoints from IPv6 prefixes, allowing 
stateless operation of 6rd.
To set up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel Internet Connection:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.

prefix, which is also indicated by the underline (_) under the IPv6 ad\
dress. If no 
address is acquired, the field displays Not Available.
• MTU size (in bytes). 
 The normal MTU (maximum transmit unit) value for most 
Ethernet networks is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. Ch\
