IPv6 trend analysis from the perspective of IETF

Abstract

Abstract: IETF is the dominant global standardization organization of internet technologies. While IPv6 is being deployed and applied globally, IETF continues to improve the IPv6 series of protocols and has formulated various standards for new technologies based on IPv6 basic technologies. On the basis of investigating the latest developments of IETF’s IPv6 work, this paper analyzes the future development trend of IPv6 and its impact on network development.

Key words: IPv6, SRv6, IPv6-only, IETF
