7 MAP-PT: An IPV4 to IPV6 Transition Mechanism in Network Layer Available to Purchase

In the Internet, nodes are identified using IP addresses that depend on their topological location. IPv4/IPv6 translation technology involves address mapping between IPv6 and IPv4 nodes and the methods used to translate protocols, where nodes are in their respective IP version of network. This paper presents an IPv4 to IPv6 transition mechanism which attempts to provide transparent routing for end-nodes in IP V6 realm trying to communicate to end-nodes in IP V4 realm and vice versa. This is achieved using a combination of MAC address mapping and protocol translation.
