Abstract
This document aims to contextualize the reader about some of the mechanisms that currently exist for IPv4-IPv6 transition and evidence some aspects that must be taken into account when evaluating and implementing some of them, specifically in centers of high performance computing and academic networks to support research projects. It also aims to show the implementation and support of IPv6 in e-learning technology platforms.
Highlights
The first version of the Internet protocol widely used, searching for unique plus global addressing and guaranteeing identification between two network devices, was IPv4
In order to surpass the Internet Protocol [IP] current limitations related with number of addresses; routing; and security, a new version of IP was designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force [IETF]: IPv6 (Deering & Hinden, 1998)
IETF is a self-organized group of people that contributes to engineering and evolution of Internet technologies
Summary
The first version of the Internet protocol widely used, searching for unique plus global addressing and guaranteeing identification between two network devices, was IPv4. An interesting conclusion of this fact is that, from each squared millimeter on Earth’s surface, it is possible to “assign” an approximately value of 6.66x1017 IPv6 addresses, enough to proportionate an address to each connectable device (cell phone, computer, tablet, mp player, car, etc.) on the planet. This eliminates the prerequisite of using Network Address Translators [NAT] (Egevang & Francis, 1994), one of actual mechanisms used to share addresses. It is predicted that the transition between IPv4 towards IPv6 will not occur immediately; this transi-
