Abstract :
As many new types of devices will be connected to networks in the future, we expect that IPv6 will play a key role in object-to-object communications and also militate against address exhaustion of IPv4. Therefore, it is very important to provide ubiquitous networking capabilities using IPv6. This paper presents several issues for standardization in the support ubiquitous networking capabilities in IPv6- based next generation networks (NGN). These issues are relevant to the future activities of ITU-T´s Study Group (SG) 13. We also discuss some basic concepts and present our vision related to this topic. In addition, we clearly identify the importance and key advantages of IPv6 in the ubiquitous networking environment. For developing the relevant standards to further enhance the current NGN, we propose new study items which include object identification, functional architecture, services, and strategies. We also provide additional considerations for standardization.
