Research on the Enterprise Network from IPv4 to IPv6 Transition

Abstract:

As IPv4 address resource being exhausted, the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is urgent. According to the status of the enterprise network, IPv6 forwarding performance and IPv6 transition technology of the enterprise network equipment was tested. Furthermore, IPv6 transition principles and process for the enterprise network were presented on this basis. In the transition program the cost, complexity, technology maturity and transition smoothness was taken into account. Test results and IPv6 transition program provide a reference for other enterprise network transition process.
