Note Image Notes

Properties for this plug-in cannot be configured in Windows Media Services Administrator for the Web.
Windows Media Services is Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) enabled. IPv6 is the newest version of the Internet Protocol and was designed to accommodate the rapidly increasing demand for unique IP addresses. IPv6 increases the IP address size from 32 bits to 128 bits to support more levels of addressing hierarchy and a much greater number of addressable nodes. Not all networks are configured to use IPv6, so Windows Media Services will automatically use it when it is available. For more information about IPv6, refer to the IPv6 page on the Microsoft Web site.
