Yeah we're talking about the same thing. So my v4 is 70.94.201.31. My ISP didn't also give me 2002:70.94.201.31 or whatever.

- tardedmeme 6mo agoThey're allowed to do that if they want to. Most find there's no practical reason to ensure the addresses are related. It wouldn't help them support v6 faster.
- zadikian 6mo agoDo they own such an address, as in, a packet sent by someone on another ISP to that address will actually reach my ISP's router over v6? Not talking about translations that use v4. If they do, I've never seen them actually give it to me.
- tardedmeme 6mo agoYes, they can just put your 32-bit IPv4 address after their 32-bit prefix, and that gives you a /64 as is standard. If they want to. But what's the advantage?
- throw0101a 6mo ago> My ISP didn't also give me 2002:70.94.201.31 or whatever. Traffic to 2002:70.94.201.31/48 is tunnelled via 70.94.201.31 with-in an IPv4 packet (encapsulation): * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6to4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6to4
- zadikian 6mo agoI mentioned 6to4 in the original comment. It doesn't fulfill this use case, it still relies on v4 packets.
