Study on IPv6 Capabilities of Mobile Devices

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the rapid development of Internet, the current Internet Protocol IPv4 cannot meet the new requirements. Compared with IPv4, IPv6 has more advantages. Fruitful results have been borne in aspects of IPv6 protocol study and network construction in China. On the other hand, application and popularization of IPv6 is far from sufficient. In recent years, mobile devices have popularized very rapidly. More and more people use mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets, to surf online everywhere. If such a gigantic amount of mobile devices can access network with IPv6, it will be very important for application of IPv6. In this paper, we first analyze the market of mobile devices to determine the devices to be tested. Then we introduce how to construct test environment and test cases. After that, we illustrate the test procedure. Then we summarize how the mainstream mobile devices support IPv6. At the end of this paper, we look forward the future work.
