IPv6 development prospects

IPv6 is an inevitable requirement for Internet Industrialization
With the emergence of new services, user expectations are getting higher and higher. As expected, data traffic is explosively increasing, and a large demand for IP addresses is also generated. This will make IPv4-based systems overwhelmed.
In addition to providing sufficient address space, IPv6 will make the Internet more robust and secure, while also improving efficiency and operability. Secure and reliable access to the Internet will benefit end users, while operators can simplify the network structure and reduce investment and operation costs. With the implementation of the information society, network enterprises that invest in IPv6 planning will gain obvious competitive advantages.

Various multimedia applications are emerging. IPv6 is the only choice for organizations that rely on such advanced connections. Whether the enterprise network and WWW Service will continue to succeed depends on the advancement and robustness of network protocols. IPv6 is the trend of network development. The evolution from IPv4 to IPv6 has been clearly defined, and it is time to start.
IPv6 brings new service experience

Through automatic identification, unlimited addresses, and network security settings, IPv6 enables global IP address management for each terminal, including wireless terminals, each household appliance, each production process, and each sensor, the arrival of the new information age.

The next-generation network with IPv6 as the core technology can implement all the communication services provided by the existing IPv4 network. More importantly, IPv6 provides a huge address space and many advantages and functions, making it an important foundation for building the next generation network, it also makes it possible to implement a next-generation network that provides high-quality, diverse communication services that integrate voice, data, and video. At that time, from mobile terminals, automobiles to vending machines, alarm systems, cameras and even key rings, and various other products, we were able to stay online from time to time, and the isolated information islands eventually formed a powerful network, people will get a brand new Information and Communication Service experience.

End-to-end real-time communication

End-to-end real-time communication is the basic feature of communication services. It is also the essential feature and development direction of next-generation networks and an inevitable demand for Internet industrialization. The traditional "terminal-server-type service" model of the Internet cannot meet this requirement, which restricts the development of internet industrialization and will inevitably be replaced by the next generation network with IPv6 as the basic core technology.

Speech, data, and video integration services

In the future, all telecommunication services and information services, including voice, data, and video services, will use the next generation network. The Next Generation Network will gradually replace the circuit exchange network and the existing Internet IP network. In addition to providing services on these networks, operators will also use the multi-service capabilities of the Next Generation Network to provide new services, create new revenue growth points, including:

· Application services are provided mainly in two types: Application Software Delivery and support, and e-commerce services;

· Integrated voice and data services-the next generation network has the ability to integrate voice and data, including web-enabled call centers, unified messaging and Multimedia conferences.

The Internet service methods have already predicted to us, in the 21st century, humans will create new ways of work, management, commerce, finance, ideological exchange, cultural education, health care, and consumption and life on the Internet. These new methods will require a lot of applications. It is an inevitable trend to develop a large number of applications that can adapt to all sectors of the society and respond in different ways on the service platform of the Next Generation Network, bringing more business opportunities and a larger market. In the future information world, many services that we cannot imagine today will bring us more flexibility, convenience, and freedom.

IPv6 makes mobile Internet possible

3GPP is a Standardization Organization of mobile networks. IPv6 has been adopted by this Organization. The fifth edition of its published documents stipulates that IPv6IMCN will be used in the IP Multimedia core network ). This core network will process multimedia data packets in all 3G networks.

Exponential growth for mobile terminals

The combination of IPv6 and mobile communication will open up a new field for the current Internet-mobile Internet. Wireless will become the first "killer" Application of IPv6. There are many new and exciting services on the mobile Internet, and IPv6 will be the key to achieving these services. In the near future, when everyone needs to carry one or more mobile terminals, IPv6 will provide a unique IP address for all mobile terminals. In addition to other advantages of IPv6, a single function enables direct communication between individuals.

Although IPv4 can provide hundreds of millions of IP addresses, considering the exponential growth in the number of mobile terminal users, it is by no means a suitable solution. At present, there are more than 1 billion mobile terminals in the world, and the trend of mobile phone terminals has just begun. The next wave of terminals including devices such as doors and anti-theft automatic alarm bells has been revealed.

Meet a wide range of mobile Internet business needs

The next-generation network with IPv6 as the core technology can implement all the communication services provided by the existing IPv4 network. More importantly, IPv6 provides a huge address space and many advantages and functions, making it an important foundation for building a mobile Internet network, it also makes it possible to implement a mobile Internet that provides high-quality, diverse communication services that integrate voice, data, and video. At that time, from mobile terminals, automobiles to vending machines, household appliances, and other machine devices, we were able to stay online from time to time, and an isolated information islands eventually formed a powerful network, people will get a brand new Information and Communication Service experience.

Through the mobile Internet, we can purchase products and services on the mobile network, and our mobile devices will become wireless wallets. We can purchase and pay for products or services online anytime and anywhere; we can use mobile devices to query brief information about flights and scenic spots on airplanes to make final arrangements. We can use the same device to find maps and places to visit; we can also find the nearest restaurant. If we drive out, the wireless facilities installed in our car will provide real-time location technology, it also plays a role in navigation and security protection.

In addition, in the near future, appliance manufacturers will develop a new generation of information appliances, that is, apart from computers, you can also assign IP addresses to household appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, microwave ovens, air conditioners, and washing machines to facilitate their connection to the Internet. After Information appliances are connected to the Internet, people going out can use air conditioners and refrigerators in their homes. For example, users can download food through the Internet to automatically set the temperature and operation time, reduce cooking procedures.

Meet the development needs of high-speed networks

Finally, the implementation of the IPv6 protocol can fundamentally optimize the router transmission efficiency, so that the current various broadband transmission technologies have taken a new step. By that time, the network speed problem that has plagued Chinese netizens for a long time will be completely solved. People can stay at home comfortably and enjoy the joy of ultra-high-speed networks. After an information appliance is connected to an optical fiber, it can directly receive movies, listen to music, and broadcast through interactive means. Even at home, investors can talk to salesmen of financial institutions such as securities companies through fiber-optic networks on TV and make transactions at the same time.
