Transition from IPv4 towards IPv6

The transition from IPv4 towards IPv6 is a process intended so that the majority of the machines connected to the world network cease to use the IPv4, to use the IPv6.

This process is of course long and complex: It supposes that the protocols and applications the most used on IPv4 are related to IPv6, but also that all operating systems, routers, waiters, and suppliers of accesses are compatible IPv6.

Until 2006, there was an experimental phase.

During the phase of transition, several mechanisms are used to ensure an interworking of the two protocols:

• the 6to4 gives access the IPv6 since IPv4.
• the double pile makes it possible a system to function at the same time with IPv4 and of IPv6.
• IPv6 Address mappant IPv4
