Does Bharat fiber assign a static IPv6 address ?

So basically I read about the 31 December, 2022 deadline for Ipv6 implementation and I enabled ipv6 mode on the router. Now I am getting an ipv6 address too and test-ipv6.com shows that I am ipv6 enabled. So does ipv6 mean no NAT and a static IP address ?

It’s not static, changes each time you connect. But yes there wouldn’t be NAT when accessing IPv6 networks.

@MrGordon What is difference between NAT and dynamic addresses ?

 

[MrGordon]

Both are not related in anyway. In the context of an IPv4 internet connection, NAT is necessary cause there are not enough public IPv4 addresses to assign each device in your network a unique public IP address. Some isps assign a single public IPv4 address dynamically or statically, and each device on your network gets a private IP address which gets NATd when trying to talk to the public internet.

In case of IPv6 NAT isn’t necessary cause each device gets a publicly routable IP address.

@MrGordon so basically NAT enables devices with local IP addresses for example 192.168.1.10 to communicate over the internet using public IP address that is provided to a connection ?
