IPV6 IPV4 work around
Hi to All, I mentioned this a the Meeting in Warsaw but not sure if anyone really understood so I will submit it again. I realize that there will still be a lot of networks that will have to be able to translate over to IPV4 from IPV6 and vice versa. I also know that most are not too willing to obtain another piece of equipment for their system, but using a LTM (F5 LTM (which is what we will be using this year)) to do the translation from IPV6 to IPV4. This would be an excellent work around for quite a few issues that I have read about such as email. I have not tested this with email but will be testing it with our DNS very soon as I want to get our system on the IPV6 Internet so to speak. Just a thought and would also like to hear from anyone that may have already done so or tried to.

Hi, there are several different ways how to do this, depending what you want to achieve. Let me point you to an excellent deployment oriented document written by Sander Steffan, that tells you how to enable your IPv4-only content or services on IPv6 network. http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/resources/making-content-available-... I've been testing and running numerous mechanisms in this area in go6lab just to understand what works and what doesn't ;) Cheers, Jan
