Abstract
As the IPv6 Internet grows, alias resolution in IPv6 becomes more important. Traditional IPv4 alias resolution techniques such as Ally do not work for IPv6 because of protocol differences. Recent techniques adopted specifically for IPv6 have shown promise, but utilize source routing, which has since been deprecated, or rely upon sequential fragment identifiers supported on only a third of router interfaces. As a result, IPv6 alias resolution remains an open problem.
