Features

Connectivity by IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling
IIJ provides connectivity to the IPv6 network on existing IPv4 lines by means of IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling(*1).
Allocating /48 Address Space
IIJ will assign you /48 address space (equivalent to 65,536 subnets, containing 264 addresses in each subnet) from our sub-TLA (sTLA) address space allocated by APNIC. This abundance of addresses allows you to flexibly design your network.
You can easily experience IPv6
You will need to prepare and set up your own IPv6 tunneling router.
