What is IPV6

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the latest version of the Internet Protocol (IP), the communications protocol that provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and routes traffic across the Internet.
 

Benefits of IPV6

Easier management of networks

IPv6 networks provide autoconfiguration capabilities. They are simpler, flatter and more manageable, especially for large installations.

End-to-end connective integrity

Direct addressing is possible due to vast address space - the need for network address translation devices is effectively eliminated.

Unconstrained address abundance

3.4 x 10³⁸= 340 trillion trillion trillion addresses - about 670 quadrillion addresses per square millimetre of the Earth's surface.

Platform for innovation and collaboration

Given the numbers of addresses, scalability and flexibility of IPv6, its potential for triggering innovation and assisting collaboration is unbounded.

Integrated interoperability and mobility

IPv6 provides interoperability and mobility capabilities which are already widely embedded in network devices.

Improved security features

IPSEC is built into the IPv6 protocol, usable with a suitable key infrastructure.

The most obvious improvement in IPv6 over IPv4 is that IP addresses are lengthened from 32 bits to 128 bits. This extension anticipates considerable future growth of the Internet and provides relief for what was perceived as an impending shortage of network addresses. IPv6 also supports auto-configuration to help correct most of the shortcomings in version 4, and it has integrated security and mobility features.

Huawei can provide end-to-end IPv6 solutions for Internet access, 3G, NGN, IMS, FMC and more, while supporting IPv4-IPv6 transition technologies like dual-stack, tunnels, and protocol translation. Scoring high during the IPv6 tests, the Huawei data communications devices, broads and interfaces can help operators success in the IPv6 transformation and this technology has been applied to many Huawei routers and Huawei switches.

Huawei S5700-24TP-PWR-SI Vs Huawei S5710-52C-EI

Huawei S5700 series gigabit enterprise switches are next-generation energy-saving switches developed by Huawei to meet the demand for high-bandwidth access and Ethernet multi-service aggregation. Based on cutting-edge hardware and Huawei Versatile Routing Platform (VRP) software, the S5700 provides a large switching capacity and high-density GE ports to accommodate 10 Gbit/s upstream transmissions. The S5700 can be used in various enterprise network scenarios. For example, it can function as an access or aggregation switch on a campus network, a gigabit access switch in an Internet data center (IDC), or a desktop switch to provide 1000 Mbit/s access for terminals.
