Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Suppose two IPv6 nodes want to interoperate using IPv6 datagrams, but they are connected to each other by intervening IPv4 routers. The best solution here is ____
A
Use dual-stack approach
B
Tunneling
C
No solution
D
Replace the system
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -1 Answer. The explanation: The IPv4 routers can form a tunnel in which at the sender’s side, the IPv6 datagram is encapsulated in to IPv4, and at the receiver’s side of the tunnel, the IPv4 packet is stripped and the IPv6 packet is sent to the receiver.

Detailed explanation-2: -Important PointsFragmentation offset, Identification, and Time to live are fields in IPV4 not in IPV6. Hence Hop limit is the answer. Additional InformationFragmentation offset: In Ipv6 there is no fragmentation offset field.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which statement(s) about IPv6 addresses are true? Explanation: In order to shorten the written length of an IPv6 address, successive fields of zeros may be replaced by double colons. In trying to shorten the address further, leading zeros may also be removed.
