Abstract
A device includes a memory having non-transitory instructions stored therein and a processor coupled to the memory, and being configured to execute the instructions. The instructions thereby cause the device to transmit an internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) address request to a router, receive a router advertisement message in response to the IPV6 address request, detect an invalid result indicator in the router advertisement message, in response to the invalid result indicator, transmit an internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) address request to the router, receive IPv4 address and domain name system (DNS) server information in response to the IPv4 address request, and in response to the IPv4 address and DNS server information, perform a router connection operation using IPv6.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a memory having non-transitory instructions stored therein;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory, and being configured to execute the instructions, thereby causing the device to:
- in response to a power on sequence of the device, transmit an internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) address request to a router;
- receive a router advertisement message in response to the IPV6 address request;
- detect an invalid result indicator in the router advertisement message;
- in response to the invalid result indicator, transmit an internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) address request to the router;
- receive IPv4 address and domain name system (DNS) server information in response to the IPv4 address request;
- and
- in response to the IPv4 address and DNS server information, perform at least one router connection operation configured to establish a connection of the device to a gateway using IPv6.
A gateway connection method executed by a processor of a device, the method comprising:
- in response to a power on sequence of the device, transmitting an internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) address request to a router;
- receiving a router advertisement message in response to the IPV6 address request;
- detecting an invalid result indicator in the router advertisement message;
- in response to the invalid result indicator, transmitting an internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) address request to the router;
- receiving IPv4 address and domain name system (DNS) server information in response to the IPv4 address request;
- and
- in response to the IPv4 address and DNS server information, performing at least one router connection operation configured to establish a connection of the device to a gateway using IPv6.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions executable by a controller of a device to cause the controller to perform operations comprising:
- in response to a power on sequence of the device, transmitting an internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) address request to a router;
- receiving a router advertisement message in response to the IPV6 address request;
- detecting an invalid result indicator in the router advertisement message;
- in response to the invalid result indicator, transmitting an internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) address request to the router;
- receiving IPv4 address and domain name system (DNS) server information in response to the IPv4 address request;
- and
- in response to the IPV4 address and DNS server information, performing at least one router connection operation configured to establish a connection of the device to a gateway using IPv6.
