چکیده

A growing interest in third generation wireless IP network and service technologies, push up the demand on IPv6 transition. Most of these services require mobility, multicast and multimedia service supports. However, the transition to such a NG IP networks and services is slowed down because of the richness and complexity of the applications and the integration of legacy systems. Existing IETF and academic proposals permit to solve several transition problems but they don’t cope with the multimedia or wireless aspects of some next generation IP services. In the other hand, most transition solutions are limited to LANs and couldn’t scale well. Therefore, this article describes the architecture and the implementation of an integrated multi-functional IP gateway for IPv4/IPv6 network transition with multimedia, multicast and mobility service management. This gateway, named M3G, has been partially implemented and validated on a Linux-based testbed with MPEG4 video streaming applications. Nevertheless, the main goal of this work is to achieve a transparent establishment and a smooth control of unicast (e.g. VOD) and multicast (e.g. TV broadcasting) multimedia communications between heterogeneous fixed and mobile hosts belonging to dense IPv4 and IPv6 domains.

Global Mobile IPv6 Addressing Using Transition Mechanisms

The adoption of the Internet Protocol in mobile and wireless technologies has considerably increased the number of hosts that can potentially access the global Internet. IPv6 is considered the long term solution for the IPv4 address shortage problem, but the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is supposed to be very gradual. Therefore, there will be a long time during which both protocol versions will...

IPv4 and IPv6 Infrastructure Addresses in BGP Updates for Multicast VPN

To provide Multicast VPN (MVPN) service, Provider Edge routers originate BGP Update messages that carry Multicast-VPN ("MCAST-VPN") BGP routes; they also originate unicast VPN routes that carry MVPNspecific attributes. These routes encode addresses from the customer’s address space, as well as addresses from the provider’s address space. These two address spaces are independent, and the address...

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 (...
