IP6net provide IPv6 addressing to Flex Cloud, colocation and broadband customers as standard our network has native IPv6 connectivity.

What is IPv6?

Internet Protocol version six, or IPv6, is an Internet layer protocol developed in the 1990s (and described in RFC2460) as an alternative to IPv4. Rather than using a 32-bit system, IPv6 is based on 128-bit addresses, meaning that there are 2128 individual addresses available, which is approximately 3.4×1038, and exactly:

340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456

IPv6 provides enough addresses to allow the Internet to continue to expand and the industry to innovate. It is not, however, directly compatible with IPv4, meaning that a device connected via IPv4 cannot communicate directly with a device connected using IPv6.

Why should I care?

IPv4 addresses are running out this has happened in asia already with isp's offering money for ipv4 space !

Make sure your business can continue to grow on the next generation of internet choose IPv6 with IP6net.

Some experts consider this the real millennium bug, with no more IPv4 addresses available in europe in the not too distant future.

How can IP6net help?

IPv6 presents a whole new set of challenges surrounding network design including routing and security. IP6net have been using IPv6 extensively in their business for the past 10 years we can provide consultancy on:

IPv6 Planning including infrastructure audit to identify what devices are IPv6 compatible.

IPv6 Security evaluation along with configuring IPv4 firewalls for IPv6.

IPv6 Deployment IP6net are an LIR and as such can provide your business with IPv6 net blocks we can assist with the native deployment of these net blocks or tunnel them via existing IPv4 address space.
