This article covers assessment test results obtained during the August 2022 testing of Jamf Pro against the Internet Protocol (IP) version 6 (IPv6) only network with a NAT64 gateway and on the current Jamf-hosted server with clients currently operating on IPv6.
IPv6 is the next generation IP replacing the current IPv4 32-bit system, which is running out of available IP address options for users. The utilization of IPv6 benefits users without needing network address translation (NAT). IPv6 will provide Jamf users with faster routing through simplified headers, prevention of network fragmentation, and increased security.
