ipv4 and ipv6 tables

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Ok, if I have good old ipv4 packet, or good new ipv6 packet they will go through respective chains in respective tables (either for ipv4 or ipv6). But how about ipv6-in-ipv4 packets? How is this handled when packet is forwarded (especially by ipv6 enabled host)? How does the packet traverse tables and chains once it reach destination and is unwrapped from its ipv4 wrapper (does it go through both ipv4 and ipv6 tables and chains)? Any other special cases to watch for to prevent packets that should be blocked to go through ipv6 back door?
