Call for Papers IEEE Communication Magazine IPv6 - The basis for the next generation Internet

Background The next version of the Internet Protocol called IPv6 has evolved considerably since it was first defined in the early 90's. Whereas the main thrust of IPv6 is the greatly increased addressing space, which is expected to provide ample address space for the foreseeable future, IPv6 also introduces several other features like integrated security (IPsec), integrated multicasting, improved mobility support (Mobile IPv6), QoS support with the provisioning of flow labels and autoconfiguration. Router products supporting dual stack operation with IPv4 and IPv6 have entered the market during the last two years. Nevertheless the adoption of IPv6 is progressing rather slowly. This is mainly due to the fact that the introduction of a new network layer is a difficult and expensive step for network operators and ISPs and a strong demand for IPv6 from the user perspective is still lacking. However, the shortage of addresses particularly in Asia and Europe and the trend to mobile and ubiqitous networking makes the introduction of IPv6 an urgent issue. Scope of Expected Contributions We invite contributions covering all aspects of next generation, IPv6-based networks, including, but not limited to routing and address space management, security and privacy aspects, multicasting and multimedia distribution networks, mobile network architecture, impact on other protocol layers and services, as well as performance aspects in IPv6. In addition we invite contributions on IPv4 to IPv6 transition and introduction strategies, large scale IPv6 trial experiences and commercial service introduction, user requirements, as well as ubiquitous networking applications and IPv6 management and operations support. Preference will be given to contributions covering specific advantages or problems in large scale IPv6 networks, rather than to introductory IPv6 papers.
