Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2+); Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS); LTE; IPv6 migration guidelines (V11.0.0; 3GPP TR 23.975 version 11.0.0 Release 11)
The technical report identifies various scenarios of transition to IPv6 and co-existence of IPv4 and IPv6@ deployment options and impacts on 3GPP network elements. In particular: - Identify the transition and co-existence scenarios of interest for operators and the respective assumptions and requirements. - Analyze existing IP address allocation mechanism for IPv6 migration if necessary. - Investigate IPv6 transition mechanisms for the scenarios identified during the study and investigate their applicability for 3GPP network@ and identify the compatibility among applicable transition mechanisms. - Identify any impact on 3GPP network elements. - Provide recommendations on IPv6 transition and co-existence of IPv4 and IPv6 and identify if any normative work is needed.
