Also, if you disable IPv6 on Windows, you also disable Home Group networking. Running Windows 10 as a virtual machine under Linux with vmplayer, I like to run on it "gkrellm" to see a bit of what it is doing.
Well, it displays two network devices: one is an intel something that is the expected network interface, but another is "Teredo tunnel", wich is IPv6 and is the one you mention above.
It is also displayed in the output of "ipconfig", with an address of 2001:0:...something, and another fe80::...
I believe it is used, for instance, for peer to peer sharing of updates, if enabled.
Teredo is Microsofts method of providing IPv6 to those with only IPv4. It creates a tunnel, where IPv6 packets are carried by IPv4 packets. I did similar for 6 years with a 6in4 tunnel. However, I have no experience with Teredo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teredo_tunneling -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
