This paper presents an IPv4/IPv6 communication method in virtual machine environment called Virtual IVI. The purpose is to find an easy way to translate IPv4 service into IPv6 service in datacenter with less hardware change and less applications modification in IPv4 servers. The proposed new mechanism is based on IVI technology which is a stateless IPv4/IPv6 translation technique developed by China Education and Research Network. And the key idea is to migrate IVI hardware to virtual server and modify neutron network system in virtual network in data center. Eventually the mechanism can be applied in our OpenStack environment.
