The term "router" or the router icon in this document refers to a router in a generic
sense or a Layer 3 Ethernet switch running a routing protocol.
A tunnel interface number is in the A/B/C format, where A, B, and C represent the
slot number of a card, the slot number of a sub-card, and the tunnel interface
number, respectively. A and B vary with devices while C ranges from 0 to 1023.
1.1 IPv6 Overview
Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), also called IP next generation (IPng), was designed
by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as the successor to Internet Protocol
Version 4 (IPv4). The significant difference between IPv6 and IPv4 is that IPv6
increases the IP address size from 32 bits to 128 bits.This section covers the following:
