About Internode and IPv6

Welcome to Internode's IPv6 site.

Please note that the information on this site is of a reasonably technical nature.

You're viewing this page using IPv4 ( 38.107.179.227 )

Internode's network is now operating using IPv6 natively. We now connect to many peers and upstreams directly over IPv6. This means that we're one of the first networks in Australia to have full IPv6 connectivity, and we're now making IPv6 available to our broadband customers.

What is it?

IPv6 is the next generation Internet Protocol, primarily with longer IP addresses (128 bit vs 32 bit for IPv4) to overcome the pending shortage (perhaps as soon as 2011) of IPv4 addresses.

It's likely that IPv6 will give us enough addresses for quite some time - about 340,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 in fact.

See Wikipedia for more details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipv6

What is Internode doing?

Internode now operate a fully operational and production 'dual stack' (i.e. IPv4 and IPv6 together) network, with global IPv6 peering and transit in the U.S., Europe and Asia, and local Australian IPv6 peering.

IPv6 is available natively via:

• ADSL and FTTH / NBN broadband services,
• Direct Ethernet/Fibre from Internode points of presence in selected Data Centres,

Important Caveats - Please read before using IPv6

Cost

There is no extra charge for using IPv6 access with Internode.

Unmetered Content

While you are using IPv6 broadband, any traffic which is currently unmetered will continue to be unmetered. View the current list of unmetered sites
