Their classification is based on type of updating (distance-vector versus link-state), working domains (intraversus inter-domain), number of paths (single or multi-path), and type of traffic (unicast or multicast). The work is backed up by the practical experiments, using the Zebra and GateD routing software on RedHat Linux platform for IPv4, and pim6sd and pim6dd on FreeBSD for IPv6. The architecture used by the experiments revealed the operation of the following routing protocols: RIPv1/v2, RIPng, OSPFv2/v3, DVMRP, PIM-SM and PIM-DM in IPv4/IPv6. The deployment of a multicast testbed is more complex than for a unicast one. It involves a multicast traffic source, at least one member for that multicast group and the multicast routers.

متن کاملM3G: A Mobile Multicast Multimedia Gateway for Seamless IPv4/IPv6 Transition
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 ...

This document specifies the Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) that connects IPv6 hosts and routers (nodes) within IPv4 sites. ISATAP is a transition mechanism that enables incremental deployment of IPv6 by treating the site’s IPv4 infrastructure as a Non-Broadcast Multiple Access (NBMA) link layer for IPv6. ISATAP mechanisms use an IPv6 interface identifier format that em...
متن کاملMulticast Support for Mobile Hosts Using Mobile IP: Design Issues and Proposed Architecture
In this paper, we consider the problem of providing multicast to mobile hosts using Mobile IP for network routing support. Providing multicast in an internetwork with mobile hosts is made difficult because many multicast protocols are inefficient when faced with frequent membership or location changes. This basic difficulty can be handled in a number of ways, but three main problems emerge with...
متن کاملInternet-draft Intra-site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (isatap) (formerly: Connecting Ipv6 Nodes within Ipv4 Sites)
This document specifies a method for connecting IPv6 hosts and routers (nodes) within predominantly IPv4-based sites. This method is based on an IPv6-IPv4 compatibility aggregatable global unicast address format (described herein) that embeds the IPv4 address of a node within the EUI-64 format interface identifier of an IPv6 address. This document assumes that, during the IPv4 to IPv6 coexisten...
