The growth of IPv4 Internet has been facing the infamous IP address depletion barrier. In practice, typical IPv4 Internet edge networks can be expanded by incorporating private addresses and NAT devices. In this paper, major limitations of NAT-expanded private networks are presented. Furthermore, a solution is proposed to encourage the mixed usage...

Context 1
... each other as neighbors having the same broadcast do- main. Therefore, they will try to reach directly by resolving their MAC addresses through ARP. If they are placed in the same L2 segment, they can directly route to each other without any intervention by other routers or NATs. An example of a super-subnet organization is illustrated in Fig. 2. In the super-subnet organization, the edge router is designated as the default router for the public hosts. And the NAT is assigned as the default gateway for the private hosts. No additional configurations are required in a ...
Context 2
... a private host as A in Fig. 2 wants to communicate with the global Internet hosts, its address should be translated into a public one by a NAT. Because the super-subnet organization removes the logical boundary between each premises network, a single NAT server is sufficient to serve all the private hosts within the edge network. Such a shared NAT is illustrated in ...

Currently, the Internet world is facing the big problem that is depletion of IP addresses with the IPv4 protocol. This paper contains the very important theoretical concepts of new generation Internet Protocol IPv6 which solve the problem of IP addressing and also focus on IPv6 address format, routing and three mechanism of migration from IPv4 to I...

Introduction of IPv6 with increased address length and very different prefix length distribution poses new challenges to the IP lookup and forwarding algorithms. Algorithms traditionally used for IPv4 cannot be directly modified for IPv6. In this paper, we propose, a new data structure named ‘Disjoint Set Tries’. The aim of new design is emphasis o...

Internet routing must employ a network processor with very fast routing mechanism to maintain required high throughputs. Each packet must be forwarded to its most suitable hop based on the information stored in the routing table. Therefore to select the best suited prefix (highest subnet mask) amongst all the matched ones, it is required for the IP...

Today's Internet is facing routing scalability issues, which could degrade network performance seriously. To solve that, several solutions are currently being discussed. Among them, one promising approach is to set up a new architecture which separates the locator and the identifier roles of current IP addresses. A key question for the solution is...
