What Does IPv4 to IPv6 Tunneling Mean?
IPv4 to IPv6 tunneling refers to using the existing routing infrastructure of your IPv4 address to carry the imminent IPv6 traffic. This helps to successfully transition to IPv6 by ensuring compatibility with the IPv4 hosts and routers installed at present. Besides, maintaining compatibility between the infrastructure systems also allows you to streamline the process of transitioning to IPv6. That is because you can still use the IPv4 routing infrastructure while deploying IPv6 to make the most of the available resources. IPv4 or IPv6 routers and hosts can tunnel IPv6 datagrams over IPv4 address routing topology by including them within the available IPv4 packets. In general, IPv4 to IPv6 tunneling can be done in the below ways. Router-to-Router: Here, the IPv4[…]

Everything You Need to Know about CIDR
CIDR or Classless Inter-Domain Routing stands for an IP addressing method that is designed to improve the efficiency of IP address allocation. CIDR replaces the previous system of distributing IP addresses based on Class A, Class B, and Class C networks. The new method is also seen to benefit IPv4 addresses and extend their life cycles while slowing the development of routing tables. Also known as supernetting, the main goal of CIDR was to decelerate the rapid exhaustion of IPv4 addresses across the internet. This eventually led to freeing up a lot of unused and available IP addresses. At the same time, it also helped to deal with many of the inefficiencies of the old method of IP addressing that[…]
