Team Presentation
The IPv6 action is a research and development initiative in the domain of computer networks on the following topics: ATM / RSVP / IPv6.
ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is a telecommunication protocol based upon cell switching.
RSVP is the system for quality of service and resource reservation on the Internet.
IPv6 (IP version 6) is the protocol proposed for the next generation of IP (Internet Protocol).
Research themes
- Implementation of the mobility protocol for IPv6
- Implementation of IPv6 for BSD Unix supporting hosts, routers, standard applications, security,...
- Implementation of routing protocols for IPv6 (RIPng, BGP4+,...).
- Experimentation of the RSVP system for multimedia applications such as videoconference.
- IPv6 support above ATM with quality of service.
