Enhancing IPv4 VSAT to a Dual Mode VSAT (IPv4/IPv6)

Abstract: Typically a VSAT has two major interfaces, the LAN side on which it has subtended user networks and the RF Network side. Implementation includes IPv6 Neighbor Discovery and translation algorithms for IPv6-IPv4-IPv6 traffic terminating on the VSAT. This enabled an IPv6 host to access application on VSAT supporting only IPv4.

Customer Benefits:

  • Flexibility of subtending IPv4 or IPv6 networks on the LAN side
  • Enable IPv6 interface with minimal changes on the existing software on the VSAT.
