The Cloudflare IPv6 Tunnel Broker establishes a tunnel using BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) between your IPv6 network and Cloudflare's IPv6 network. You configure your router or network device to peer with Cloudflare's IPv6 BGP ASN. This allows Cloudflare to announce your IPv6 prefixes, and your network to receive traffic destined for your IPv6 addresses through Cloudflare's edge. Traffic is routed through the tunnel, benefiting from Cloudflare’s global network.
