چکیده

Due to the exhaustion of IPv4 address resources, the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is inevitable and fairly urgent. Numerous transition mechanisms have been proposed to solve challenging issues of IPv6 transition. An inter-connection between IPv4 and IPv6 networks or hosts requirement has been happening throughout the IPv6 transition process. And one-time translation scheme is indispensable to achieve the inter-connection. In addition, double translation can be used in the IPv4-IPv6-IPv4 scenario. As a long-term strategy, translation scheme is important and inevitable. However, because of the diverse characteristics and transition requirements of practical networks and the lack of applicability analysis, the selection and deployment of transition mechanisms are facing with grand challenges. Targeting at those challenges, this paper investigates the basic issues and key elements of IPv6 translation transition mechanisms, and presents its first applicability index system. In particular, we analyze the applicability of existing proposed translation techniques based on the presented index system, which has significant guidance in the practical deployment of IPv6 transition techniques.

An Incremental Carrier-Grade NAT (CGN) for IPv6 Transition

Global IPv6 deployment was slower than originally expected. As IPv4 address exhaustion approaches, IPv4 to IPv6 transition issues become more critical and less tractable. Host-based transition mechanisms used in dual-stack environments cannot meet all transition requirements. Most end users are not sufficiently expert to configure or maintain host-based transition mechanisms. CarrierGrade NAT (...

Reflections on Middlebox Detection Mechanisms in IPv6 Transition

Middleboxes performing Network Address Translation (NAT) have gained a positive role in the IPv6 transition by enabling interoperability of different IP versions, i.e., IPv4 and IPv6. Although the NAT-based mechanisms pave the way for a smooth adoption of IPv6 in the transition, we shall be prudent towards such middlebox-oriented approach due to its complexity and overhead for end users and net...

Analysis of IPv6 Transition Technologies

Currently IPv6 is extremely popular with companies, organizations and Internet service providers (ISP) due to the limitations of IPv4. In order to prevent an abrupt change from IPv4 to IPv6, three mechanisms will be used to provide a smooth transition from IPv4 to IPv6 with minimum effect on the network. These mechanisms are Dual-Stack, Tunnel and Translation. This research will shed the light ...

Utilising IPv6 over VPN to Enhance Home Service Connectivity

The amount of home networks, as well as the number of services and hosts in them, is increasing. Often the home users cannot get public IPv4 network allocations from service providers and are forced to use Network Address Translation (NAT) and port forwarding to solve connectivity issues to the different home services. This paper introduces a secure connectivity solution utilising both IPv6 and...
