IPv6 Core Router Test Report

Overview Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the next generation of protocol defined by Internet Engineering Task force (IETF) to replace the exiting IPv4 protocol. At present, the majority of Internet users are still using IPv4 protocol, and given that most of current networking applications and network equipment run in IPv4 environments, the migration from IPv4 to IPv6 can't be accomplished overnight. It is predictable that the migration will be a long-term process (it is forecasted that the process will take 10 - 20 years). During the migration, IPv4 and IPv6 will coexist in a same network. This migration process poses new challenges on the routers that are the core equipment in IP network.
