IPv6 Client Connection Support

(QW.ClientConnectionControl)

Overview

This is a private feature developed by Qwilt that controls whether the CDN accepts client connections over the IPv6 protocol.

Client IPv6 support is enabled by default. This setting is global and must be the same for all hosts and paths. It should be configured on the site level, where it applies to all hosts and paths.

When the feature is:

• Enabled: The CDN responds to DNS queries with an AAAA record, allowing IPv6-capable clients to connect over IPv6.

• Disabled: The CDN responds with only an A record (IPv4), forcing all traffic to use IPv4 even if the client supports IPv6.

info

This SVTA object is also used to configure the HTTP Keep Alive feature.

Example

In this example, the QW.ClientConnectionControl SVTA component is configured to disable IPv6 connections.
