METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SEAMLESS NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN DEVICES RUNNING INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION 6 AND INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION 4

摘要

Systems are provided including at least one identifier locator network protocol (ILNP) enabled mobile node running Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6). The mobile node is attached to an IPv6 network in an IPv6 domain. The system includes a virtual root server configured to receive a binding identifiers create (BIC) message from a domain name system 64 (DNS64) server associated with the IPv6 network. The BIC message includes an ILNP address of the mobile node running IPv6, a fake ILNP address of a destination device running IPv4 assigned by the DNS64 server and an ILNP address of the DNS64 server. The fake ILNP address includes a full real address of the destination device. The virtual root server is further configures to create a binding between the ILNP address of the mobile node and the fake ILNP address of the destination device; store the binding; and send a binding identifier acknowledgement (BIA) message to the DNS64 server.
