Abstract:
During the long IPv6 transition phase, multiple transition approaches may co-exist in the same network to enable v4-to-v4 communication and v6-to-v4 communication over IPv6 access. In this paper, we present our integrated platform with different transition solutions, such as AplusP, Dual-stack Lite and NAT64/DNS64, and analyze application behaviors and potential issues that may impact on the deployments. Particularly, results of application tests indicate that dual-stack application may break either because application layer is IP version dependent or because application has difficulties with NAT64 traversal if only NAT64/DNS64 is deployed; but same dual-stack application may work well in a Dual-stack Lite and NAT64/DNS64 mixing environment.
