Mobile Networks Considerations for IPv6 Deployment
RFC 6342, “Mobile Networks Considerations for IPv6 Deployment”, is an Informational document published in August 2011 by R. Koodli. It obsoletes RFC 6312. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Mobile Internet access from smartphones and other mobile devices is accelerating the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses. IPv6 is widely seen as crucial for the continued operation and growth of the Internet, and in particular, it is critical in mobile networks. This document discusses the issues that arise when deploying IPv6 in mobile networks. Hence, this document can be a useful reference for service providers and network designers. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
