A study on the interworking between IPv4 network and IPv6

IPv4 네트워크와 IPv6 네트워크 간의 연동

In this paper, we consider the interworking methods for Internet layer 3 protocols. The legacy protocol for Internet is IPv4(IP version 4). The ability of IPv4 is not enough for modern real time multimedia communication services. So IPv6(IP version 6) protocol was suggested to resolve the problems of IPv4. 6Bones(IPv6 Backbones) have also constructed from 1996 in many countries. The 6Bones should be interoperatable to the legacy internet. To support all data services including voice and video, IP protocol should be enhanced because the characteristics of modern network services are requiring QoS(Quality of Service) functions, plug and play, security, mobility and so on. So a new IP protocol, IPv6, has been developing to meet the requirements. In this paper, some migration methods for internets are described. We first describe the protocol compatibility problems and suggest some solutions and scenario to solve the problems.
