According to Derak cloud, IPv6 support has been enabled for free for content distribution network users
According to the Iran digital economy annotation, Derak cloud enabled IPv6 support in the CDN service. IPv6 is the latest generation of the Internet protocol, and in addition to reducing restrictions compared to the previous generation, it increases security and usability. Currently, Derak cloud is the only CDN server in Iran that can support version 6 of the Internet Addressing Protocol.
Although several years have passed since the introduction of IPv6, the migration to IPv6 around the world has not been done uniformly due to technical challenges in network infrastructure changes, and online services are still using both types of IPv4. and support IPv6 for connecting users.
The use of a content distribution network (CDN) that supports IPv6 traffic is a fundamental solution to eliminate the technical challenges of infrastructure changes, as well as ease and speed up the delivery of content efficiently and with any type of connection protocol to end users.
“Sina Soltani”, the CEO and product manager of Derak cloud, referring to the new feature, stated that due to the increasing use of IPv6 by end users, IPv6 support for all Derak cloud services has been in the plan since the beginning of Derak cloud’s network designs:
“Derak cloud’s commitment to product development based on users’ needs, in recent months, led to the activation of the ability to pass users’ traffic through the IPv6 protocol from the CDN service. Currently, this feature has been activated for all users of the CDN service, and soon it will be available to all users for free for the cloud server service.
Therefore, users can enable or disable the possibility of traffic passing through the IPv6 protocol in their user panel. If enabled, for all A, AAAA and CNAME records whose cloud is enabled, IPv6 will be enabled in their DNS and WEB service. Also, if not needed, they can disable it and use only IPv4 to access their website. It is also important to mention that if this feature is enabled, users can connect to the desired website automatically and without interruption by accessing any version of the IP without any problems.
Sarah Mousavi Rad, Vice President of the Board of Directors of Derak cloud, pointing out that IPv6 support has been a global basic feature for years, said: “Derak cloud, by prioritizing the needs of customers and learning about the latest technologies developed In the world, it enables businesses to deliver their content with greater security, efficiency and accessibility.”
It should be noted that all active devices in the network need a unique identifier (IP) to connect to the Internet. However, by far the most common type of IP on the Internet is IPv4, which has a limit of 4.3 billion unique IP address generation. Also, as the Internet evolves, IPv4 becomes increasingly vulnerable to security threats.
The problems that have been corrected in the sixth generation of the Internet Protocol, and using it, it is possible to generate an infinite number of unique IPs, which, as a result, increases the security of interacting with the network.
These advantages make IPv6 support an ideal choice for a modern CDN. Therefore, it has been announced that Derak cloud has enabled IPv6 support for free for content distribution network users. In this way, even users who are not familiar with the technical complexities of network configuration and implementations can benefit from the advantages of IPv6 with just one click.
