what happened to ipv6?
Copilot
Using
the web
IPv6, the latest version of the Internet Protocol, was introduced to address the limitations of its predecessor, IPv4. Here’s a brief overview:
Address Space Expansion:
IPv4 uses a 32-bit addressing scheme, allowing for approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses.
With the explosive growth of the internet, personal devices, and the Internet of Things (IoT), this address space became insufficient.
IPv6, designed nearly 25 years ago, uses a 128-bit addressing scheme, supporting approximately 340 trillion trillion (2 to the 128th power) unique addresses.
Benefits of IPv6:
Efficiency: IPv6 handles packets more efficiently, improving performance.
Security: Enhanced security features compared to IPv4.
Hierarchical Routing: Internet service providers can reduce routing table sizes by making them more hierarchical.
IPv6 Address Format:
Unlike IPv4’s four sets of decimal numbers (e.g., 45.48.241.198), IPv6 uses eight groups of hexadecimal digits separated by colons (e.g., 2620:cc:8000:1c82:544c:cc2e:f2fa:5a9b).
Despite its advantages, IPv6 adoption has been slow and complex. However, gradual migration is underway, ensuring we won’t face an address apocalypse. 🌐🔗 1

8x8 service creation environment and client addresses
Copilot
Using
the web
Certainly! Let’s explore 8x8 and its services:
8x8 Contact Center Channels:
Phone Channels: Process inbound and outbound phone interactions using phone channels. These channels are automatically created when a new phone number is ordered for the tenant through provisioning.
Email Channels: Handle inbound and outbound email interactions using email channels. Administrators create these channels in 8x8 Contact Center.
Chat Channels: Process incoming chat requests and direct them to contact center agents. Administrators create chat channels.
Social Channels: Handle chat requests from Facebook and Twitter. Social channels are also created by administrators.
SMS Channels: Process messages routed via SMS and offer them to agents as chat interactions for responses.
Chat API: Connect directly to agents from your own system, enabling clients to communicate via mobile app-based chat, web chatbots, and integrations with other platforms1.
Network Requirements for VoIP Services:
When configuring your network for VoIP services, consult an IT or network professional.
Ensure proper firewall settings and NAT (Network Address Translation) configurations.
For 8x8 Meet functionality, allow unrestricted outbound TCP port 443 (HTTPS) traffic2.
X Series Technical Requirements:
All 8x8 services are deployed within specific IP address spaces.
Outbound requests to these ranges on port 80 (HTTP) are redirected to port 443 (HTTPS).
Ensure proper network setup for seamless communication3.
Remember, 8x8 offers a range of features, including contact center, business phone, video, and chat. Explore their plans and pricing to find the best fit for your needs! 🌟 4
