Technical Summary
This document provides detailed description of IPv6 deployment and
integration methods and scenarios in today's Service Provider (SP)
Broadband (BB) networks in coexistence with deployed IPv4 services.
Cable/HFC, BB Ethernet, xDSL and WLAN are the main BB technologies
that are currently deployed, and discussed in this document. The
emerging Broadband Power Line Communications (PLC/BPL) access
technology is also discussed for completeness. In this document we
will discuss main components of IPv6 BB networks and their
differences from IPv4 BB networks and how IPv6 is deployed and
integrated in each of these BB technologies using tunneling
mechanisms and native IPv6.
