IPv6 Transitioning Management - Laying the Foundation for Managed IPv4/IPv6 Interoperation

This paper highlights the need to supplement the work within the IPv6 community on IPv6 management with mechanisms specifically to support IPv6 transitioning. As a major feature of any IPv6 network for the considerable future, management support for the deployment and operation of a transitioning infrastructure is vital. We will propose a format for transitioning management information and examine how transitioning aspects of managed IPv6 networks can be handled within a transitioning management framework
