I’m trying to send IPv6 packets from my emulated android device to my host-machine.

  • 0

I’m trying to send IPv6 packets from my emulated android device to my host-machine. Is there any IPv6 address to reach the hosts ::1 address from the emulator (Something similar to 10.0.2.2 for IPv4)?
I didn’t find any information about using IPv6 with an emulated device in the emutlator networking guide or searching the web.

Thanks in advance.

    At the moment the Android emulator has no support for IPv6. The latest word on it was from three years ago:

    I plan to add IPv6 support to the emulator, but it’s really a non-trivial thing to do, given the state of the QEMU internal firewall/NAT. Hope it will be available soon enough, but I don’t promise anything at the moment.

    Best advice I can give you is to use a device. But note that there are a number of Android bugs relating to IPv6 over WiFi, so for the moment you’ll want a carrier that has deployed IPv6 already.
