Agenda What is a killer application with IPv6? Features of IPv6 Ideal IPv6-based network Proprietary protocols Single-protocol or Multi-protocols Gateway for multi-protocol framework Open-based and multi-protocol framework EMIT C/S and EMIT DO Tele-control SWG and HX IPv6 application for BA IPv6 application for Home Conclusion

What is a killer application? IPv6 infrastructure has been ready. Market requires killer applications. What is a killer application? 1.Applications for home users? 2.Applications for building automation? What is a killer application? 1.Applications for home users? 2.Applications for building automation? Users have set up PC environment.

Features of IPv6 1. Huge Address Space ----> 4.3×10 9 (IPv4)>>> 3.4×10 38 (IPv6) 2. Network Security : ----> IPsec is adapted as a standard module. ----> Secured end-to-end communication 3. Plug & Play ----> Auto Address Configuration 4. QoS and Real Time Communication ----> Flow-level and Priority-level 5. Multicast ----> 1:N Communication 6. Mobile IPv6 ----> Mobile device can use the same IPv6 address.
