System and method for achieving dual-network content distribution of IPv4 and IPv6

Abstract

The invention discloses a system and method for achieving dual-network content distribution of the IPv4 and the IPv6. The system and method for achieving the dual-network content distribution of the IPv4 and the IPv6 enables the network accessed users of the IPv4 and the IPv6 to be capable of accessing the content services of content service providers smoothly and effectively reduces service pressure of a source station at the same time. According to the technical scheme, a set of service cluster is arranged in the dual stack environment of the IPv4 and the IPv6, the system for achieving the dual-network content distribution of the IPv4 and the IPv6 comprises an IPv4 network processing module, an IPv6 network processing module, an access control module, a cache processing module and a source return processing module, the dual-network content distribution of the IPv4 and the IPv6 is achieved, and the network accessed users of the IPv4 and the IPv6 are made to be capable of accessing the content services of the content service providers smoothly, and do not need to care whether content servers are arranged in the IPv4 network or in the IPv6 network.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to computer network technology, in particular to a technology for simultaneously distributing IPv4 or IPv6 single-network content to an IPv6 network and an IPv4 network. Background technique [0002] The IPv4 address is the basic identification of the current Internet network node location, the length is 32 bits (bit), and the maximum capacity of its address space is about 4.3 billion. It is the basis for routing and forwarding information on the public Internet and proprietary enterprise networks. With the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, it has become a consensus to promote the deployment of IPv6 as soon as possible. [0003] Since IPv4 and IPv6 cannot carry out end-to-end direct communication, two problems must be solved to promote the deployment of IPv6: one is how to access the content services of the IPv4 network for IPv6 users, and the other is how to serve the content deployed on the IPv6 network. Provide services to users w...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

If Internet operators realize the interconnection of IPv4 and IPv6 dual networks through transition technologies such as tunnels or network address translation, there will be a problem of failure of some source site functions caused by the lack of user addresses, and because content service providers cannot control this process, So troubleshooting will be troublesome

[0005] Moreover, the above-mentioned methods will increase the service pressure of the source station of the content service provider.
