From the viewpoint of the operation cost, it is best if the operation can be done only with a single protocol, either IPv4 or IPv6. However, it is mandatory for service providers to accept all three types of users, 1) IPv4-only users who will remain in the Internet for long time, 2) IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack users who will be a dominant users in near future, and 3) IPv6-only users who will appear in the future as IPv6 deployment progresses. In this paper, we propose a recommended operation model designed for the IaaS system operated with IPv6-only network with a wide area L2 network and IPv4-IPv6 translation software for backward compatibility. With our proposal, we can reduce the use of IPv4 addresses in the cloud backend network, and provide high-performance, scalable, and redundant address translation software suitable for the IPv6-only IaaS system that can be one of the reference operation models of future datacenters. misc: @inproceedings{shima:closer2012, author = "Keiichi Shima and Wataru Ishida and Yuji Sekiya", title = "Design, Implementation, and Operation of IPv6-only IaaS System with IPv4-IPv6 Translator for Transition toward the Future Internet Datacenter", booktitle = "In Proceedings of 2nd International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science (CLOSER2012)", pages = 306--314, month = April, year = 2012 }
