The key to IPv6 application is transition.

At present, our Internet is facing a new and innovative change, that is, the use of IPv6 network protocols, and how to make it widely used is a problem that we need to consider now. Although IPv6 has many advantages, the difficult deployment of its security mechanism has indeed brought us a lot of problems. Now we will discuss the previous points of view.

Currently: Advantages and Disadvantages coexist

Compared with IPv4 technology, IPv6 has the following advantages.

First, IPv6 increases the IP address from 32-bit to 128-bit, which can support a larger address space, expand the routing and addressing capabilities of the network, and solve the problem of IPv4 address depletion.

Second, the packet format is simplified, and some redundant parts of IPv4 packets are discarded, which reduces packet processing and bandwidth overhead and improves network forwarding efficiency.

Third, IPv6 integrates IPSec for network layer authentication and encryption to provide end-to-end security for users.

Fourth, IPv6 enhanced multicast support, streaming support, and QOS considerations give multimedia applications on the network a great opportunity to develop, it provides a good network platform for service quality control.

Fifth, MobileIPv6 enhances the mobile features, security features, and routing features of mobile terminals, reduces the difficulty and investment of network deployment, and provides users with permanent online services.

In the final analysis, the combination of the existing security system and IPv6 is the combination of network video surveillance system terminal devices and IPv6 network protocols. The IPv6 protocol stack must be upgraded through Terminal devices. Currently, in the security industry, network video surveillance equipment, including network cameras, network video servers, and network video surveillance platform software, will take the lead in IPv6 application. IPv6 video surveillance technology will be applied in large-scale network video surveillance industries such as traffic management and emergency command. For example, in the Beijing Olympic Games, video monitoring, with IPv6 support, played a crucial role in ensuring Olympic security. It is a successful case of combining the security system with IPV6. As an active advocate of IPv6, Beacon Network has developed an IPv6-based SmartEye6000-v6 video surveillance management platform and NV2000S series video front-end coding equipment.

The emergence of IPv6 is an opportunity. How can security companies effectively utilize the advantages of IPv6 network protocols to optimize products? improving product functions and enriching product applications are the key to seizing this opportunity.

Application: network transition is the key

At present, IPv6 is not yet mature in China's large-scale security application. IP networks are still dominated by IPv4, and there is still a journey to transition to IPv6. However, IPv6 is the trend of the times, at present, mainstream network equipment providers have already proposed relevant IPv6 solutions, and telecom operators are also planning to deploy IPv6 networks. Once the IPv6 transition of the basic network is complete, the network video monitoring device will inevitably transition to IPv6.

It is not difficult to transition a network video monitoring device from IPv4 to IPv6. The major technical transition is that the network module of the device switches from an IPv4 protocol stack to an IPv4/IPv6 Dual-stack, the final transition to support IPv6 protocol stack does not have a great impact on video encoding.

In general, the emergence of IPv6 promotes the development of network video monitoring. In essence, it optimizes the basic bearer environment of video streams, this will enrich the application scenarios and content of network video monitoring.
