Managing IPv6 Routes (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

Routingis a primary function of IP. Datagrams labeled with a source and destination IP address are handed to IP. IP examines the destination address on each datagram, compares it to a locally maintained route table, and decides what action to take.

Routing is turned on by default only if Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) or the Bluetooth gateway configuration tool is used. If you do not include ICS or this tool and want to manage routes, you can enable IP routing manually.

The following list shows ways in which you can manage routing tables for IPv6:

• Viewing the IPv6 Routing Table
• Adding an IPv6 Route
• Removing an IPv6 Route
• Enabling IPv6 Forwarding

For information about using IP Helper to manage network routing, see Managing Routing.
