Summary :

As we move toward the transition to the IPv6 next generation network environment, it is necessary to realize heterogeneous communications between IPv6 and IPv4 terminals without sacrificing any convenience or frameworks of current communication methods. Mechanisms that satisfy such requirements are called translators. This paper categorizes various translator mechanisms and clarifies their characteristics. As a result of analyses, this paper proposes a SOCKS-based IPv6/IPv4 Translator, and describes its design and implementation. Compared with other translator mechanisms, the SOCKS-based translator have small constraints and good characteristics. For example, it can integrate DNS name resolving procedures, which is an important mechanism for the transition. The translator has already been implemented and it has been proved that it can support typical communication services such as telnet, ftp, http, mail without any problems.
