ZyXEL Announces IPv6-Ready Gateways

ZyXEL today announced IPv6 support for several ADSL2+ and VDSL2 gateways to simplify telecommunications providers’ transition to next-generation networking standards. The newest IPv6-ready CPE include the P660 Series ADSL2+ gateways and VSG Series of VDSL2 and dual-WAN gateways. All these CPEs have dual-stack implementation, allowing service providers to run IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously, facilitating a gradual rollout of IPv6 service.

FAQ
What is IPv6?
What is IPv6?
IPv6 protocol is a technology that enables data communication over the Internet. It is a replacement for the current IPv4 protocol, which was released in the early 1980s
Why do we need IPv6?
IPv6 will increase the number of available Internet addresses (from 32 to 128 bits), resolving a problem associated with the growth of the number of computers attached to the Internet. In other words we have run out of IPv4 addresses and IPv6 will increase the number of available addresses so more people and device can connect to the ever expanding Internet.
Is there a body overseeing IPv6 standards?
The Internet Engineering Task Force (http://www.ietf.org/) has developed and has the sole authority for the IPv6 protocol.
The IPv6 Forum (www.ipv6forum.com) is a world-wide consortium of leading Internet vendors, research organizations, and experts that is working on promotion and deployment of IPv6. They promote interoperability of IPv6 standards to ensure end-to-end quality of service and resolve issues that create barriers for IPv6 deployment. ZyXEL is an active member of IPv6 Forum
How many IP addresses does IPv6 enable?
IPv6 shifts to a 128-bit IP address space, supporting a virtually unlimited number of devices; approximately 340 undecillion (340 times 10 to the power of 36) possible addresses.
Will IPv6 make networking easier?
Yes, by eliminating NAT and Port Forwarding features – all devices will be accessible on the public network, making it easier for people to manage things like home automation, file sharing, online gaming, peer-to-peer programs and other applications without complex settings on their router. Firewall technology can still be used to protect devices from unwanted access.
Does IPv6 offer better security?
Built-in security features for IPv6 ensures integrity and authenticity of information using safeguards against packet spoofing and encryption to make sure that only the correct destination network nodes can read the packets or messages.
IPv6 Deployment
What are the different migration paths for IPv6?
Dual Stack: Implements both IPv4 and IPv6 on all network points from the CPE to the edge router. This allows for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic to pass over the network, without using tunnels or complicated NAT configurations.
Dual Stack Lite: Implements both IPv4 and IPv6 on the LAN side of the CPE and utilizes an IPv6 tunnel through much of the core network to a network-side IPv4/IPv6 NAT server. This allows for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic to pass over the network with only IPv6 addresses assigned to new end-user connections.
IPv6 Rapid Deployment: Implements both IPv4 and IPv6 on the CPE and utilizes an IPv6 tunnel through much of the core network to a network-side IPv6 relay server. This allows for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic to pass over the network although does require both IPv4 and IPv6 address assignments to new end-user connections.
ZyXEL IPv6 Readiness
Does ZyXEL have IPv6-ready CPE?
Yes, ZyXEL has a several IPv6-ready CPE available today – both for ADSL2+ and VDSL2 technology.
How do I obtain ZyXEL IPv6-ready CPE for trials and test?
Please call 800.255.4101 or email telco@zyxel.com for IPv6-ready trial samples.
