: When an IPv6 packet needs to be sent from a device on an IPv4 network, the Teredo tunneling pseudo-interface encapsulates the IPv6 packet in an IPv4 packet. This encapsulation allows the packet to be transmitted over the IPv4 network. At the receiving end, the process is reversed, and the IPv4 packet is decapsulated to retrieve the original IPv6 packet.
Here's an example of how it worked:
She recalled the old network architect's tale: Teredo is a bridge. When the world rushed to IPv6, millions of devices were left on IPv4 islands. Teredo was the hidden ferryman—wrapping IPv6 packets inside IPv4 shells, sending them through the dark IPv4 internet to distant IPv6 peers. A tunneling pseudo-interface: not real hardware, but a software illusion that made two incompatible worlds speak. teredo tunneling pseudo interface
