IP Infusion Tunnels IPv6

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- IP Infusion, an ACCESS company and provider of intelligent software for Next Generation Network (NGN) equipment manufacturers and converged IP service providers, today announced innovative tunneling technologies that enable the coexistence of IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Since its inception in 1999, IP Infusion has pioneered the development of solutions for IPv4 and IPv6 technologies, and has carried out extensive testing with Japanese carriers. IP Infusion is making its solution available immediately for operators and Internet service providers as ZebOS® Rapid Deployment.

The IPv6 protocol was developed to support the growing need for additional IP addresses brought about by the decreasing availability of address space for 32 bit for IPv4. Due to the worldwide growth of the Internet and the increasing use of information appliances, especially in ASEAN countries, available IPv4 addresses are expected to run out in the very near future. IPv6 addressing provides an important solution as an alternative to IPv4, and has brought about the diversification of IP address environments. Operators urgently need not only to introduce IPv6 addresses, but also to manage their networks in mixed IPv4 and IPv6 environments.

The telecommunications industry has been exploring a variety of solutions, such as network address sharing technologies and network translation technologies. The comprehensive tunneling technologies for coexisting IPv4 and IPv6 networks developed by IP Infusion offer an immediate solution for operators.
