ABSTRACT
The paper describes an Internet Protocol (IP) version 6 (v6) introduction to an IP version 4 (v4) Internet Service Provider (ISP) network infrastructure. The case study driver is an ISP willing to introduce a new "killer" service related to Internet of Things (IoT) style building automation. The ISP and cooperation of third party companies specialized in building automation will provide the service. The ISP has to deliver the network access layer and to accommodate the building automation solution traffic throughout its network infrastructure. The third party companies are system integrators and building automation solution vendors. IPv6 is suitable for such solutions due to the following reasons. The operator can't accommodate large number of IPv4 embedded devices in its current network due to the lack of address space and the fact that many of those will need clear 2-way IP communication channel.
The Authors propose a strategy for IPv6 introduction into operator infrastructure based on the current network architecture, present service portfolio and several transition mechanisms. The strategy has been tested in laboratory with setup close or identical to the current operator's network. The criteria for a successful experiment is full two-way IPv6 application layer connectivity between the IPv6 server and the IPv6 Internet of Things (IoT) cloud.

Speeding up IPv4 connections via IPv6 infrastructure
SIGCOMM '21: Proceedings of the SIGCOMM '21 Poster and Demo SessionsIn the transition process from IPv4 to IPv6, the lack of customer demand remains a major problem for Internet Service Providers. With the increasing traffic in IPv4 networks, the ISPs' operational cost is growing while the user experience will be ...
Measuring the IPv4-IPV6 IVI translation overhead
RACS '12: Proceedings of the 2012 ACM Research in Applied Computation SymposiumWhile IPv6 deployment in the Internet continues to grow slowly at present, the imminent exhaustion of IPv4 addresses will encourage its increased use over the next several years. However, due to the predominance of IPv4 in the Internet, the transition ...
Deploying IPv6 service across local IPv4 access networks
TELE-INFO'11/MINO'11/SIP'11: Proceedings of the 10th WSEAS international conference on Telecommunications and informatics and microelectronics, nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, and WSEAS international conference on Signal processingThis paper introduces a new protocol called D6across4, which stands for Deploying IPv6 Service across local IPv4 access networks. The protocol aims to encourage Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to start deploying IPv6 service to their customers (end-...
