3 ETRI Introduction of 6TALK IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6)  Extended addressing capability ( 32bits -> 128 bits )  No doubt about IPv6 as next generation internet  Also deployable at new infrastructures  3G Mobile, Home Appliance, Automobile, Entertainment, etc.. IPv4/IPv6 Transition Technologies  IPv6 is not backwards compatible with IPv4 but most popular servers are running at IPv4 networks today  Many mechanisms for seamless interworking between IPv6 and IPv4  NAT-PT, DSTM, 6to4, ISATAP, Configured Tunnel  Those mechanisms have different coverage 6TALK : IPv4/IPv6 Transition Toolbox  IPv6 Translator of KRv6 Project  Main solution and Strategy of KRv6 project (  Enables an IPv6 island to connect the IPv4 Internet and other IPv6 networks seamlessly in initial IPv6 transition period  Smart Toolbox for smooth migration towards IPv6

4 ETRI Expectation of IPv6 Deployment (Data-BT, 2001) Commercial IPv6 routers available IPv6 in most OS for developers IPv6 specified for 3G Many IPv6 apps. available IPv6 Operationally Viable Operational 3G Systems 2006 IPv6 Timeline: Difficulty in obtaining IPv4 addresses Interworking Required: IPv4 IPv6 Total Volume Time
