Description of the research topic:
IPv4 and IPv6 are two incompatible protocols, but they will co-exist for a long time. IETF has standardized a high number of IPv6 transition technologies, which enable communication in various communication scenarios [1]. In the upcoming phase of IPv6 transition, more and more ISPs intend to use only IPv6 in their core and access networks, however, they need to provide IPv4aaS (IPv4 as a Service), because their users need IPv4 for several reasons (e.g. due to IPv4 only applications or IPv4 only content providers). The five most prominent IPv4aaS technologies are 464XLAT, DS-Lite, lw4o6, MAP-E and MAP-T [2]. They have different advantages and disadvantages [2].
The applicant should select the most important aspects for their comparison (e.g. performance, security, efficiency of IPv4 address sharing, etc.) and carry out a comprehensive comparative analysis according to the selected aspects including experimenting and taking (benchmarking) measurements.
