An IPv6-enabled Software-Defined Networking architecture
Chia-Wei Tseng, Yao-Tsung Yang, Li‐Der Chou · 2013
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a new potential approach that can separate and provide abstract elements to build computer networks. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a mature, proven and deployed globally technology, and also the future of the internet infrastructure. It can identify, localize and route traffic across the Internet. In this paper, we combine the existing IPv6 protocol and the SDN, known as SDNv6, to provide the smarter and reliable network communication architecture.
