Abstract

This deliverable reports on the integration of SIP and IPv6. It aims at trying to provide an assessment of the role SIP will presumably play in the IPv6 world and how far the integration of SIP in IPv6 related applications and protocols has taken place. The proliferation of communication services like IP telephony and advanced supplementary services, video conferencing, application data exchange, presence and instant messaging using SIP increases the need for public IP addresses that can only become available with the deployment of IPv6. The lack of IP addresses will become even more evident with the introduction of IP based communication in next generation 3GPP networks. In this document, we are taking a look at the benefits of using IPv6 for SIP based applications and the extensions needed for SIP to work properly in an IPv6 environment. Besides the need for applications and SIP components that can deal with IPv6 there is a clear need for components that provide for a smooth transition from IPv4 to IPv6 networks. In this context we will describe the IPv6 SIP applications and components developed in 6net. Finally the document presents a general overview on the testing activities of IPv6 SIP components in the context of 6net.
