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.
