Independent IPv6: Routing Around the IPv4 Obstacles
Independent
Independent

How do you get to the IPv6 Internet if your service provider can't? Most major networks don't provide IPv6 transit services to their downstream Internet service providers, most ISPs don't offer IPv6 to their home and business customers, and most modems and small routers can't handle IPv6 anyway ...

But it doesn't matter: you can ignore all of these obstacles and have Independent IPv6 for yourself. Best of all - you don't need to change your current service provider or equipment!

6via4 Transit is a way of carrying IPv6 data via IPv4 as it crosses the Internet: a proven world-class technology, fully compliant with Internet standards. We use high-speed servers to encapsulate your IPv6 traffic inside IPv4 packets, creating 'tunnels' of connectivity. Our 6via4 servers enable tens of thousands of simultaneous IPv6 connections without missing a beat.

We provide three 6via4 Transit Plans, all with commercial-grade Service Level Agreements:
What transit plan will suit you? That depends upon the level of usage you require. Subscribers are given a certain number of 'tunnel' connections, but since these aren't used 24x7, each one can support a larger number of customers. This means that we can offer savings with a wholesale plan specifically designed for ISPs, which gives their customers easy IPv6 connectivity as if it is the ISP's own service!

Benefits of 6via4 Transit Plans
  • Setup follows the same few easy steps for everyone - only requirement is a working IPv4 connection.
  • Client software is available for Windows, Linux, Unix, Macs or BSD systems.
  • IPv6 addresses are static: they will not change (but unlike IPv4, don't cost extra).
  • Suitable for small or large networks, all plans are covered by Service Level Agreements
  • Wholesale6 only: we provide an integrated Radius-based user authentication database.
  • Wholesale6 and Grow6: we reserve contiguous address ranges for your future use.
