Abstract
The present invention provides an automatic detection and network construction method based on the IPv6 protocol and an apparatus thereof, in which a user activates an auxiliary wizard program to determine whether the current connection to the Internet is a PPPoE protocol, and then carries out subsequent DHCPv6 communication protocols for PPPoE or IPoE environments to complete the construction of an IPv6 network and to obtain the required additional DHCPv6 information. In order to avoid the waste of IPv6 prefixes, the present invention also provides a method of hierarchically distributing prefixes through DHCP-PD. Finally, by obtaining the DHCPv6 additional information and the search method of PREF64, the appropriate IPv4 transition mechanism can be automatically determined and established. The present invention can not only significantly reduce the technical threshold for users to set up IPv6, but also complete the construction of the IPv6 network.
