Cloud computing and IPv6 are among two of the most prominent trends impacting the IT industry. In order to fully use heterogeneous network resources, there is a need to design a network where all resources can interconnect in cloud computing deployment. At present, IPv4 networks are still dominant and IPv6 is the next internet protocol that is being adopted. In cloud computing deployment, IPv6 ...

The growing numbers of mobile users challenge cellular network scalability. The IPv4 address space is not sufficiently large to uniquely identify all active network devices, while at the same time network address translation (NAT) middleboxes used to extend the IPv4 address space introduce performance overheads. Therefore, ISPs have started to adopt IPv6 addressing to provide Internet services ...

draft-ietf-ngtrans-6to4-00.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...

This document specifies IPv6 Router Advertisement options to allow IPv6 routers to advertise a list of DNS recursive server addresses and a DNS Search List to IPv6 hosts.

Recent researches have stated the fast deployment of IPv6. It has been demonstrated that IPv6 grows much faster, being so more and more adopted by both Internet service providers but also by servers and end-hosts. In parallel, researches have been conducted to discover and assess the usage of MPLS tunnels. Indeed, recent developments in the ICMP protocol make certain categories of MPLS tunnels ...

Deployment of IPv6 technology in research and commercial networks has accelerated in the last few years. Inevitably, as more advanced services take advantage of the new technology, IPv6 traffi c gradually increases. Today, there is limited experience in the deployment of Quality of Service (QoS) for IPv6 traffi c in backbone networks that support the Differentiated Services framework. As availa...

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...
