The IPv6 Compatibility Checker tool assesses whether a domain utilizes IPv6 within its network infrastructure. By querying the domain's DNS records, this tool verifies if the IPv6 DNS Records resolve correctly, ensuring they return valid values. Simply enter a domain name, and this tool swiftly evaluates its IPv6 compatibility.
The implementation of Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) has been underway since the mid-2000s, aiming to replace IPv4, which has been in use since 1982 and is nearing exhaustion of its address space. However, IPv4 remains the dominant and most familiar IP protocol.
Several noteworthy observations have emerged regarding IPv6 adoption:
Note: Data is based on 2017 statistics.
This tool validates IPv6 DNS records to confirm a domain's compatibility and support for IPv6 within its network. AAAA DNS Records contain the IPv6 address of a domain, facilitating communication between IPv6 users and the website's server. Ensuring proper setup of AAAA DNS Records is crucial for website owners to avoid broken connections with IPv6 users.
