IPv6 is new routing protocol. IPv6 is introduced by IETF mainly due IPv4 address exhaustion but it is also an enhanced version of IPv4. There are many changes in IPv6 header, some fields from IPv6 header has been deprecated from IPv6 and some are newly added. There is also common misconception among people that IPv6 is more secure than IPv4, which is not true. Now a day's intruders are targetin...

Discovering router-level IPv6 topologies is important to understanding IPv6 growth, structure, and evolution and relation to IPv4. This work presents a fingerprint-based IPv6 alias resolution technique that induces fragmented responses from IPv6 router interfaces. We leverage the way in which IPv6 implements fragmentation to provide reliable inferences. We demonstrate perfect alias resolution a...

Although IPv6 has been standardized more than 15 years ago, its deployment is still very limited. China has been strongly pushing IPv6, especially due to its limited IPv4 address space. In this paper, we describe measurements from a large Chinese academic network, serving a significant population of IPv6 hosts. We show that despite its expected strength, China is struggling as much as the weste...

As IPv6 deployment grows, it is important to develop new measurement techniques that allow us to study the IPv6 Internet. We implement an IPv6 version of the Multipath Detection Algorithm and use it from 12 geographically-distributed vantage points on two different platforms to characterize IPv6 routers that perform load balancing. Overall, we find that 74% of IPv6 routes traverse at least one ...

The North Asian Triangle Japan, South Korea and China is spearheading implementation of IPv6, with Japan being the furthest in its deployment even globally. While IPv6 has been discussed by the three governments at ministerial meetings, these three nations are planning to jointly develop IPv6, a move that will challenge the U.S.dominated market for current IPv4-based Internet technology. In Jap...

This document specifies IPv4 compatibility mechanisms that can be implemented by IPv6 hosts and routers. These mechanisms include providing complete implementations of both versions of the Internet Protocol (IPv4 and IPv6), and tunneling IPv6 packets over IPv4 routing infrastructures. They are designed to allow IPv6 nodes to maintain complete compatibility with IPv4, which should greatly simpli...

This paper focuses on integrating IPv6 functionality into Grid systems. We outline the advantages of IPv6 and the benefit Grid could get from IPv6. We then introduce our methodology and our efforts to provide IPv6 support on Grid systems using the Globus Toolkit Version 3 as our concrete working example. The status of global Grid IPv6 activities is introduced. We conclude by summary how to brin...

This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract There is a lack of IPv6 utilization in early 2009; this is partly linked to the fact that the number of IPv6 nodes is rather low. This document proposes to vastly in...

Sensors utilize a large number of heterogeneous technologies for a varied set of application environments. The sheer number of devices involved requires that this Internet be the Future Internet, with a core network based on IPv6 and a higher scalability in order to be able to address all the devices, sensors and things located around us. This capability to connect through IPv6 devices, sensors...
