Security research has made extensive use of exhaustive Internet-wide scans over the recent years, as they can provide significant insights into the overall state of security of the Internet, and ZMap made scanning the entire IPv4 address space practical. However, the IPv4 address space is exhausted, and a switch to IPv6, the only accepted long-term solution, is inevitable. In turn, to better un...

The IPv4 address space is small enough to allow exhaustive active measurement, permitting important insight into Internet growth, policy, and evolution. The IPv6 address space, on the other hand, presents the problem that we can no longer perform exhaustive measurements in the same way, inhibiting our ability to continue studying Internet growth. Access to private datasets (e.g., HTTP access lo...

The huge numbers of computers, devices and networks that connected to the Internet in the networking industry, that require more address space, better Quality of Services support, greater security, and an increasing number of media types and Internet-capable devices have all contributed to drive the development of new IPv6 protocol. The major importance during the development of IPv6 has been h...

IPv6, the IETF-designed protocol set dubbed the 'next generation' of IP, is designed as an update of the current version, IPv4, which it is said is beginning to show its age. Much of the vaunted improvement over IPv4 is attributable to the simple fact that IPv6 offers a virtually infinite number of Internet addresses from approximately 200 million assignable IPv4 addresses to countless trillion...

The development of computer network technology is rapidly advancing in response to society's increasing demand for services. Currently, the most widely used protocol IPv4, but it has some limitations. To address these limitations, a new protocol, IPv6, been developed. More and more devices are using IPv6 as their IP address, while many existing technologies internet still use IPv4. Therefore, m...

IPv4 to IPv6 transition is an inevitable process when deploying IPv6 networks within the present IPv4 Internet. The transition process is complex as it has to deal with issues related to IPv4-IPv6 interoperability including routing, DNS, error handling, etc. In this paper, a new solution named DTTS (Dynamic Tunneling Transition Solution) for IPv4 to IPv6 transition based on dynamic tunneling te...

This document specifies the operation the IPv6 Internet with mobile computers. Each mobile node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While situated away from its home, a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which provides information about the mobile node’s current location. IPv6 packets addressed to a mobile ...

draft-ietf-ngtrans-6to4-02.txt This memo specifies an optional mechanism for assigning a unique IPv6 address prefix to any site that currently has at least one globally unique IPv4 address, and describes scenarios for using such a prefix during the co-existence phase of IPv4 to IPv6 transition. The motivation for this method is to allow isolated IPv6 domains, attached to an IPv4 network which h...
