The 128 bit TCP/IPv6 is the protocol that is meant to replace the current 32 bit TCP/IPv4 protocol. However, as of November 2016, TCP/IPv6 traffic barely represents 16% of all the Internet traffic monitored by Google1 . Furthermore, TCP/IPv6 used in conjunction with TCP/IPv4 on the same system is known to have caused communication issues.
For these reasons, it is recommended that the TCP/IPv6 be disabled on all systems that support it. These include:
• Windows 7 • Windows 8.1 • Windows 10 • Windows Server 2008
Before disabling the TCP/IPv6 protocol, please ensure that it is not used within the organization and that there are no plans to do so in the near future. Also, please confirm this information with the local IT department or system administrator. Note that disabling the TCP/IPv6 is not permanent. It can very easily be re-enabled should it be required in the future.
