Abstract
An example operation may include one or more of storing a first IPv6 address of a router assigned by a first carrier and a second IPv6 address of the router assigned by a second carrier, assigning a plurality of IPv6 addresses of the first carrier to a plurality of devices on a local area network (LAN) served by the router, receiving a packet from a device included on the LAN, where the packet comprises an IPv6 address of the first carrier assigned to the device, replacing the IPv6 address of the first carrier within the packet to the second IPv6 address of the router assigned by the second carrier, and transmitting the packet to the Internet via an IPv6 connection of the second carrier.
