IPv6: Status Quo and Challenges• Current state of IPv6 transition• Many solutions and multiple scenarios co-exist, e.g. 4-
6-4, 6-6-4, etc.• Slow transition
• Challenges• Legacy equipment does not support multiple IPv6
transition technologies at the same time• Lack of native IPv6 applications
Lack of motivation and high cost for carriers / serviceproviders / end users to transition to IPv6
![Page 4: A Software Defined Approach to Unified IPv6 Transition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062817/56816930550346895de079ce/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Motivation & Rationale• Design a low-cost, unified approach to
IPv6 transition• Low-cost: a virtual CPEs(e.g. vRGW) or a SDN enabled
CPE can cover different scenarios of IPv6 transition. carriers do NOT have to upgrade/manage CPEs to support a specific IPv6 transition scheme
• Unified: the design should be compatible (or accommodate) existing and future IPv6 transition schemes
• Users / applications should be able to decide for themselves when and how to start the IPv6 transition

SD-IPv6: A Low-Cost, Unified Approach to IPv6 Transition
• Leverage the SDN capability to• Decouple network equipment (i.e., data plane) and
operating specific IPv6 transition schemes (i.e., control plane)– By leveraging SDN’s separation of control / data plane
• Decouple network equipment and implementation of specific IPv6 transition schemes– by leveraging SDN’s NBI to efficiently implement IPv6 apps
• Decouple network equipment and deployment of specific IPv6 transition schemes– As a result of the above two enablers

SD-IPv6: Architecture• Network equipment is SDN compatible• IPv6 schemes are implemented as SDN apps
• SDN apps communicate with SDN controller via NBI

SD-IPv6: Data / Control Flow
![Page 8: A Software Defined Approach to Unified IPv6 Transition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062817/56816930550346895de079ce/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Evaluations I: Lab Experiments
• Experiment setup• Use flow generators to
generator a varying number of flows
• Use commodity hardware
• Result• SD-IPv6 can handle a
reasonably large number of flows with very high cost-performance efficiency
