Report ID: NET-IPv6-002 Date: October 2023 (Updated for 2024 context) Author: Network Architecture Team Subject: Teredo Tunneling (IPv6 over UDP over IPv4) 1. Executive Summary The Teredo protocol is a network transition mechanism defined in RFC 4380 (updated by RFC 5991 and RFC 6346). Its primary purpose is to provide IPv6 connectivity to nodes located behind Network Address Translation (NAT) devices that do not support native IPv6 and cannot utilize other tunneling methods like 6to4 (which requires a public IPv4 address). teredo protocol

With the accelerating global adoption of native IPv6 and superior translation mechanisms like NAT64, Teredo has reached end-of-life. It remains a footnote in networking history—a bridge that served its purpose but is now being dismantled. Organizations and users should actively disable Teredo unless a specific, non-replaceable dependency (like older Xbox gaming) exists. // Check Teredo status netsh interface teredo show state // Enable Teredo (client mode) netsh interface teredo set state client // Set specific Teredo server netsh interface teredo

// Test IPv6 connectivity via Teredo ping -6 ipv6.google.com With the accelerating global adoption of native IPv6

// Disable Teredo netsh interface teredo set state disabled

| Component | Role | Example | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | The host behind the NAT seeking IPv6 connectivity. | Windows PC, Xbox One. | | Teredo Server | A well-known, globally reachable IPv4 host. Helps the client determine its external IPv4 address and UDP port (NAT mapping). | teredo.remlab.net | | Teredo Relay | A router that forwards IPv6 packets between the Teredo network and the native IPv6 internet. | ISP-operated or public relays. | | Teredo Host-Specific Relay | An optimization where a native IPv6 host acts as a relay for a single Teredo client. | Not common today. | 3.1 The Teredo IPv6 Address Format A Teredo client generates a routable IPv6 address ( 2001:0::/32 prefix) with embedded information:

Stage Lighting

ScatterVL Pro has been instrumental for 3ds Max artists in visualizing stage lighting designs for major events, including the Kenny Chesney 2002 tour, Bon Jovi concerts, TMF Awards, and others.

ScatterVL Pro Radial Gradient

Radial Color

Animatable radial gradient color allows you to create almost every possible stage lighting effect.
ScatterVL Pro attenuation range

Attenuation

Volumetric light attenuation with distance is completely controlled with AFC curve editor and provides a way to design various special effects.
ScatterVL Pro Shadow Compensation

Shadows

Shadow Compensation options creates the illusion of light scattering from the illuminated media into the shadow. That is a really fast and efficient way to simulate the light scattering effect for volumetric lights.
