In the IPv6 network, a domain name system (DNS) supporting IPv6 converts
domain names into IPv6 addresses, instead of IPv4 addresses.
However, just like an IPv4 DNS, an IPv6 DNS also covers static domain name
resolution and dynamic domain name resolution. The function and
implementation of these two types of domain name resolution are the same as
those of an IPv4 DNS. For details, refer to
Usually, the DNS server connecting IPv4 and IPv6 networks not only contain A
records (IPv4 addresses), but also AAAA records (IPv6 addresses). The DNS server
can convert domain names into IPv4 addresses or IPv6 addresses. In this way, the
DNS server implements the functions of both IPv6 DNS and IPv4 DNS.
Protocols and standards related to IPv6 include:
