Enhanced support for multicast and QoS.Streamlined header format and flow identification.End-to-end security, with built-in, strong IP-layer encryption and authentication.More efficient and robust mobility mechanisms.Server-less autoconfiguration ('plug-n-play') and reconfiguration.Ĭonsequently, the design of IPv6 was an opportunistic way to improve the Internet, with new benefits such as: There may be alternative technical solutions, such as NAT (Network Address Translation), but they won't work so easily to allow this growth. This, combined with new 'always-on' access technologies such as xDSL, cable, ethernet-to-the-home, were increasing the appetite for new devices and new users. This need arose from fast Internet growth: billions of new devices (cell phones, PDAs, appliances, cars, etc.), and billions of new users (China, India, Latin America). IPv6 was initially designed with a compelling reason in mind: the need for more IP addresses. IPv6 is the 'next generation' protocol designed by the IETF to replace the current version of Internet_Protocol, IP Version 4 or IPv4. If you can't figure that address out with a short capture on the AP interface, you can find it by tapping the blue-circled 'i' next to the SSID (network name) of your hosted Wi-Fi in Settings: Wi-Fi.IPv6 is short for 'Internet Protocol version 6'. You can also filter on the IP address of the iPhone.

You can find an iPhone's Wi-Fi MAC address in: Once you switch which interface you're capturing on, you can filter by the MAC address of your iPhone: If you've been capturing on the hosting computer's Internet-facing interface, you're probably seeing the iPhone's traffic after it gets NATed to the same IP and MAC addresses as your computer. If that adapter shows up in the list of interfaces Wireshark can capture on, choosing the SoftAP adapter instead of the adapter your computer uses for it's Internet connection should narrow down what packets you see and let you see the iPhone's Wi-Fi IP and MAC addresses, which will both be different from your computer's addresses. Wireless Hosted Networking creates virtual wireless adapters, including a SoftAP adapter.
