Avoiding DAD for Improving Real-Time Communication in MIPv6 Environments.
Authors: Marcelo Bagnulo, Ignacio Soto, Alberto García-Martinez, Arturo Azcorra
Conference: PROMS 2002
Topic: Mobile Multimedia Systems
Abstract: A proper support for real time multimedia applications in mobile IPv6 nodes is undermined by the disruption imposed by the Duplicate Address Detection mechanism demanded by the address configuration procedure. In order to overcome this limitation, the usage of randomly generated IPv6 Interface Identifiers without previously performing DAD is proposed, based on the statistic uniqueness feature of the addresses generated through this method. The risk of address duplication is quantified through the calculation of the probability of an Interface Identifier collision among the nodes sharing a link. The calculated probability is proved to be negligible compared to other causes of communication failure, such as network outage.

A QoS-Driven ISP Selection Mechanism for IPv6 Multi-Homed Sites
Authors: Marcelo Bagnulo, Alberto García-Martínez, David Larrabeiti, Arturo Azcorra.
Conference: PROMS 2001: 6th International Conference on Protocols for Multimedia Systems.
Topic: Multi-homing in IPv6 networks, QoS provision.
Abstract: A global solution for the provision of QoS in IPng sites must include ISP selection based on per-application requirements. In this article we present a new site-local architecture for QoS-driven ISP selection in multi-homed domains, performed in a per application basis. This architecture proposes the novel use of existent network services, a new type of routing header, and the modification of address selection mechanisms to take into account QoS requirements. This proposal is an evolution of current technology, and therefore precludes the addition of new protocols, enabling fast deployment. The site-local scope of the proposed solution results in ISP transparency and thus in ISP independence.

Internet Protocol, Version 64 (IPv64) Specification, Arturo Azcorra, 12/13/2001.
This document specifies an IPv6 protocol extension that allows IPv6 packets to be backward compatible with IPv4. An IPv6 packet encapsulated in IPv4 in this way (called IPv64) would be processed as native IPv6 by IPv6 routers, and at the same time, in case there is an IPv4-only router in the path, it will be processed as IPv4. Consequently, it is possible to have native end-to-end IPv6 communication, with IPv6 processing at IPv6 routers, through a path that contains some IPv4-only routers. Protocol conversion from/to IPv6 to/from IPv64 is made at edge routers, and therefore the advantages of IPv64 are achieved with standard native IPv6 hosts.

Random generation of interface identifiers, Marcelo Bagnulo, Ignacio Soto, Alberto Garcia-Martinez, Arturo Azcorra (29th January)
"This document evaluates the use of random numbers to generate the interface identifier part of an IPv6 address on mobile environments, where Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) mechanisms are expensive. We have estimated the probability of having an address duplication using this mechanism and we conclude that the IPv6 addresses created in this way could be used without previously doing DAD to test the uniqueness of the address in a link."
