Call for Papers on Special Issue on IPv6 Protocols and Applications
(May/June 2003) Issue
Guest Editor: Chris Metz, Cisco Systems, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Submission Deadline: 1 October 2002
The effort to develop a successor to the current IPv4 protocol suite
has
been underway for the past ten years. IP version 6
(IPv6) provides several
enhancements over its predecessor, including a
larger address space,
plug-and-play autoconfiguration, and a simplified
header format. IPv6 has
largely remained on the sidelines, however, due to
aggressive IPv4 address
conservation efforts (through network address
configuration, CIDR,
dynamic host configuration protocol, and other
techniques), which have
successfully extended the limited IPv4 address
space. This has served to
obviate the only compelling reason to migrate to a
new version of IP on the
Internet. Looking ahead, however, several market
and technology
developments could drive the need to introduce IPv6
sooner rather than
later.
Mobile wireless networks supporting large numbers
of IP-addressable
handsets mandate the use of IPv6. Vendors are now
shipping products
with robust IPv6 features and capabilities.
Experimental IPv6 networks
have grown in size and participation thus providing
practical operational
experience on a large scale. The IPv6 support in
just about every popular
operating system including Windows and Linux augurs
well for application
development. And finally there is a plethora of
possible IPv4-to-IPv6
transition mechanisms that will enable co-existence
and interoperability
with IPv4 for many years to come.
This special issue covers developments in IPv6
protocols and applications.
Topics of interest for technical articles include:
Operating system support for IPv6
Comparing IPv4-to-IPv6 transition mechanisms
(tunneling, 6to4,
DSTM, and so on)
Routing protocol implementations (such as
OSPFv3, Integrated
IS-IS, MP-BGP)
Mobile IPv6 protocols and services
Service provider, enterprise, and home
networking environments and
applications
Migrating IPv4 applications to IPv6
Implementing IPv6 in emerging 3G wireless
networks
IPv6 anycast addressing for autoprovisioning
and discovery
Operational experiences on IPv6 networks (such
as 6Bone)
QoS and flow-label semantics
IPv6 packet header processing (classification,
table lookup, and so
on) in routers
IPv6 and MPLS
All papers should explicate the technical issues
related to the Internet.
Research papers should demonstrate the feasibility
of the approach and
describe the state of realization. Case studies and
applied papers should
discuss the key factors that allowed for a
successful implementation and
any pitfalls and problems encountered.
