Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the purpose of 6to4 technology?
A
To convert IPv4 port numbers to IPv6 port numbers
B
To carry IPv4 packets inside IPv6 packets.
C
To convert IPv4 addresses to IPv6 addresses.
D
To automatically assign IPv6 address to a network adapter when no DNS server can be reached
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Solaris operating system includes 6to4 as a preferred interim method for making the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 addressing. 6to4 enables isolated IPv6 sites to communicate across an automatic tunnel over an IPv4 network that does not support IPv6.

Detailed explanation-2: -The 6to4 prefix, which has the 6to4 router’s IPv4 address embedded within it, is then advertised by way of the Neighbor Discovery protocol to the 6to4 site, and this prefix is used by hosts within the site to generate a global IPv6 address.

Detailed explanation-3: -6to4 relay routers function as endpoints for tunnels from 6to4 routers that need to communicate with native IPv6, non-6to4 networks. Relay routers are essentially bridges between the 6to4 site and native IPv6 sites.
