networking - Does Android have support for IPv6?


I wonder if Android has support for IPv6? I have heard that the phone company I use has support for IPv6 and I have a IPv6 address if I visit http://ipv6.whatismyipv6.net.ipv4.sixxs.org/.


But I can not visit IPv6-only sites like http://ipv6.google.com, why is that? Does Android have support for IPv6?



Answer



As of Android 6.0, the majority of the IPv6 protocol seems to be supported with significant parts missing such as DHCPv6. Check this Google thread for more info, specifically the issues listed in this post.
