Common Name

Long Description

dhcpv6

DHCPv6

DHCPv6 is a network protocol that is used for configuring IPv6 hosts with IP addresses, IP prefixes and/or another configuration required to operate on an IPv6 network. IPv6 hosts can acquire IP addresses using stateless address autoconfiguration, or by using DHCPv6. DHCP tends to be preferred at sites where central management of hosts is valued; stateless autoconfiguration does not require any sort of central management and is therefore preferable in networks where no management is readily available, such as a typical home network.

Updated Protocols

The following protocol(s) have been updated to improve accuracy.

  • crashplan
  • facebook
  • ms-services
