10、the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing R
11、ecommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics.
12、The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

A host implements routing functions (i.e., it operates at the IP layer) and may implement additional functions including higher layer protocols (e.g., TCP in a source or destination host) and
29、 lower layer protocols (e.g., ATM). 3.1.2 router b-ITU-T Y.1540: A host that enables communication between other hosts by forwarding IP packets based on the content of their IP destination address field. 2 Rec.

It may be integrated with tunnel functions too. 3.2.2 dual-stack NGN: This refers to an NGN that supports address
32、ing, routing protocols, and services associated with both IPv4 and IPv6. A dual-stack NGN shall recognize and process both IPv4 and IPv6 headers and options, operating over various underlying transport technologies in the transport stratum. Translation services may be provided in a dual-stack NGN to

They also
36、 allow IPv4 and IPv6 networks to communicate with each other. 6.1 Communication scenarios in IPv6 migration for NGN operators During the IPv6 migration period, NGN operators need to support the following communication scenarios, in addition to some basic IPv6 communications. Some of these scenarios
37、may be optional during the different migration phases, which are described in clause 6. Rec. ITU-T Y.2058 (11/2011) 3 Scenario A: A legacy IPv4 host communicates with a legacy IPv4 host or an IPv4 application on a dual-stack host. It should continue to receive support until phase 4, when the network
38、 has fully migrated to an IPv6-based NGN. The basic function requires IPv4 routing and forwarding. Scenario B: An IPv6-only host communicates with an IPv6-only host or an IPv6 application on a dual-stack host. It should be supported throughout IPv6 migration starting from the beginning, phase 1. The
39、 basic function requires IPv6 routing and forwarding. Scenario C: A legacy IPv4 host communicates with a legacy IPv4 host or an IPv4 application on a dual-stack host through an IPv6 network. It should be supported in phase 3, and may be supported in phase 2. The basic function requires IPv4-over-IPv
40、6 tunnelling. Scenario D: An IPv6-only host communicates with an IPv6-only host or an IPv6 application on a dual-stack host through an IPv4 network. It should be supported in phase 1, and may be supported in phase 2. The basic function requires IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnelling. Scenario E: An IPv6-only hos
41、t communicates with an IPv4-only host. It should be supported in phases 1, 2, 3 and 4. The basic function requires the translation of addresses and protocols. Scenario F: A legacy IPv4 host communicates with an IPv6-only host. It should be supported in phases 1, 2, 3 and 4. The basic function requir
42、es the translation of addresses and protocols. 6.2 Available transition mechanisms for NGN operator deployment 6.2.1 Available transition mechanisms ITU-T Y.2053 describes three basic approaches for interworking and migration: dual IP layer (dual stack), configured tunnelling and network address and
43、 protocol translation. Additionally, application level gateways or proxy servers can be adopted based on each application. These basic transition mechanisms meet different requirements and scenarios during the migration phases. NGN operators may deploy the different combinations of these existing tr
44、ansition mechanisms in their NGN according to their requirements in each phase. Furthermore, the exhaustion of global public IPv4 addresses is getting closer and closer. Many network operators are already suffering from the shortage of global public IPv4 addresses. Many NAT devices have been deploye
45、d so that private IPv4 addresses are used more extensively. The usage of private IPv4 addresses does not solve the address exhaustion issue. It may slow the exhaustion but with many side effects and issues. However, during the IPv6 migration, private IPv4 addresses may be used to provide IPv4 access
46、 services. CGNs can be deployed in the NGN so that public IPv4 addresses can be shared. 6.2.2 Combined transition mechanisms for NGN operators deployment The combination of existing transition mechanisms can be deployed in the NGN to simplify the operation of end user services during the IPv4/IPv6 m
47、igration phases. The functions can be integrated with CGNs and deployed on the network side and managed/maintained by NGN operators. In phases 1 and 2, as shown in Figure 1, IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnelling may be integrated with the CGN and translation function between IPv6 and IPv4. The integrated device
48、s can be deployed at the border between the IPv4-based NGN and the IPv6-based NGN. When a dual-stack CGN receives a data packet from a dual-stack host, it firstly checks whether the packet is a normal IPv4 packet or an IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel packet. For a normal IPv4 packet, the CGN translates the pa
49、cket source address from a CGN-scoped private IPv4 address into a public IPv4 address, and then sends it to an IPv4-based NGN. The CGN should record the IPv4-IPv4 address mapping information for inbound packets, just like a normal NAT. For an IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel packet, the CGN needs to 4 Rec. ITU-T Y.2058 (11/2011) de-encapsulate it into the original IPv6 packet and then send it to an IPv6-based NGN. If the destination address of the original IPv6 packet is an IPv4-embedded address, this IPv6
