The best advantage of the W6100 (MKR-)Ethernet Shield is that it supports IPv6. It supports both 3.3V & 5V. This Ethernet Shield is compatible with Arduino and ARM mbed Platform.
W6100 suits users in need of stable Internet Connectivity best, using a single chip to implement TCP/IP Dual Stack, 10/100 Ethernet MAC and PHY. Hardwired TCP/IP Stack supports TCP, UDP, IPv4, IPv6, ICMP, ARP, IGMP, and PPPoE etc which has been proven through various Applications over many years.
W6100 is a hardwired Internet controller chip supporting IPv4/IPv6 dual stack by adding IPv6 functions on the basis of WIZnet’s patented hardwired TCP/IP core technology. W6100 supports TCP/IP protocols such as TCP, UDP, IPv6, IPv4, ICMPv6, ICMPv4, IGMP, ARP and PPPoE. W6100 also includes 10Base-T / 10Base-Te / 100Base-TX Ethernet PHY and Ethernet MAC Controller which makes it suitable for embedded internet-enabled devices.
W6100 Ethernet Shield is based on W6100. For more information about W6100, please visit W6100 Datasheet. This Ethernet Shield can be used on boards with an Arduino Pin Header Form factor.
