Check future IPv6 network applications

In some aspects, we pay more attention to IPv6 network applications. Whether it is communication, entertainment or other aspects, in this emerging version, we need more comprehensive and user-friendly network services. IPv6. Now let's look at what IPv6 network applications will be available in the future.

What are the typical IPv6 network applications on the trial network?

At present, IPv6 labs are mainly focused on the following key technologies:

(1) Implementation of IPv6 basic functions: Address and routing mechanisms, ICMPv6, automatic host configuration, IPv6 code on various platforms, and application interface APIs, cisco and Bay have created routers that support IPv6. major applications are upgrading to support IPv6;

(2) technology for transition from IPv4 to IPv6: IPv6 and IPv4 must coexist for a long time. During this period, the communication between IPv4 and IPv6 mainly adopts the following technologies: Dual-protocol stack, tunnel) and Tunnel Broker), NAT-PT, Stateless IPv4-IPv6 translation Stateless IPv4-IPv6 Translator, SIIT), in which Tunnel technology and double protocol stack technology has been widely used;

(3) IPv6 Security: many research and development projects combine IPv6 with IPSecIP Security, such as the IPv6 protocol stack developed by KAME and NRL, all contain the IPSec code;

(4) IPv6 support for Quality of Service (QoS), including support for "Integrated Service" InteServ), especially "differentiated Service" DiffServ;

(5) IPv6's ability to support mobility: this research is in parallel with the research on IPv4 mobility. However, the initial research and practice tends to use IPv6 as the platform to support mobile computing. The realization of mobility is closely related to security and service quality technologies.

What IPv6 network applications will be available in the future?

Through automatic identification, unlimited addresses, and network security settings, IPv6 enables global IP management for each terminal, including wireless terminals, each household appliance, each production process, and each sensor. It can be said that on the next generation network with IPv6 as the core technology, all communication services provided by the existing IPv4 network can be realized. More importantly, IPv6 provides a huge address space and many advantages and functions, this makes it possible to implement the next-generation network that provides high-quality, diverse communication services that integrate voice, data, and video. At that time, from mobile terminals, cars to vending machines, alarm systems, cameras and even key rings and other products could all be online in real time, and an isolated information islands would eventually form a powerful network, people will also have a new communication service experience in the following three aspects:

End-to-end real-time communication

End-to-end real-time communication is the basic feature of communication services and is also the essential feature and development direction of next-generation networks. In the future, all telecommunication services and information services will use the next generation network. The Next Generation Network will gradually replace the Circuit Switching 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, provide new services to create new revenue growth points.

This type of communication service mainly includes IPv6 network application service provision and integrated voice and data services. Application Service provision mainly includes application software delivery and support and e-commerce services; integrated voice and data services refer to the ability of the Next Generation Network to integrate voice and data, including web-enabled call centers, unified messaging, and Multimedia conferences.
