IPv6 protocol and next-generation services

Now we have reached a consensus that telecom networks, the Internet, and mobile networks will all evolve into IP-based networking in the next generation process. We know that network protocols are a set of rules for effective and reliable communication. They are the basis of any network. Before creating a network, you must first select the network protocol. Once selected, everything else will be switched around the protocol. The only protocol for the next-generation IP network is IPv6. Therefore, it can be said that the telecom network, the Internet, and mobile network will all be deployed into an IPv6-based branch network, as shown in the figure below.

Next Generation Network Trend

So whether IPv6 can support next-generation services, especially the main features of its support for next-generation services, has been discussed in the media for the IPv6 protocol itself. IPv6 has the following advantages over IPv4: It expands the address space, improves the overall network throughput, improves service quality, and ensures better security. It supports plug-and-play and mobility, the multicast function can be better implemented. Specifically, IPv6 greatly expands the address space and restores the end-to-end connection function that was originally lost due to address limitations, ensuring end-to-end service quality and security, it provides basic conditions for Internet popularization and deepening development. With the aforementioned host-to-machine application, IPv6 is the most important advantage in the future.

The wide variety of addresses will lead to countless machine-to-machine applications. For example, monitoring and control, distribution and logistics management, biological information transmission, remote backup, multicast feed, news feed, information batch processing, Database Synchronization, multimedia email box, location-empty database ing, database mining. RFID tags, which have attracted widespread attention in recent years, are now regarded as a basic tool for ubiquitous network society. When the communication service objects are expanded from people to everything, trillions of things can communicate with each other. Each year is marked with trillions of tags, each of which requires a unique address. Without the IPv6 protocol, this is completely impossible.
