IPv6: The New Internet Protocol
as avm.de/en. Every query is sent to the DNS server first. The
DNS server resolves the URL into the corresponding IP ad-
dress. There is one unambiguous IP address for every URL.
The home user relies on the authenticity of the IP address re-
turned by the DNS server. Authentic means that the response
is the IP address of the desired web site, and not a faked IP
address that leads to a fake web site. DNSSEC can ensure that
the returned addresses are authentic.
Support with the FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box supports DNSSEC queries over UDP.
The FRITZ!Box has a DNS proxy. The computers in the home
network use the FRITZ!Box as a DNS server. The FRITZ!Box for-
wards DNSSEC queries from the home network to the Inter-
net. The FRITZ!Box forwards DNSSEC responses from the In-
ternet to the home network. The DNSSEC information must be
validated on the computer in the home network. For this DNS-
SEC must be supported in the operating system.

FRITZ!Box 3272
IPv6 support can be switched on in the FRITZ!Box user
interface.
For simultaneous use of IPv6 and IPv4, the FRITZ!Box
supports Dual-Stack and Dual-Stack Lite. This means
that the FRITZ!Box can communicate with both IPv4 and
IPv6 domains in the Internet.
The FRITZ!Box supports native IPv6 and IPv6 with a tun-
nel protocol. Native IPv6 means that your Internet ser-
vice provider supports IPv6 directly on your line.
