Abstract

The Internet protocol IPv6 is being progressively used in new networks and service implementation worldwide. In Cuba, the Communications Ministry of Cuba has supported this approach in order to drive forward this development by establishing a regulatory environment through several resolutions. Based on the facilities provided by the IPv6 protocol, the present contribution approaches the possible solutions for this migration in metropolitan networks as well as in the core of the IP/MPLS network. This paper explains the characteristics of the more used methods in both network segments and sums up the main results of recent field tests regarding IPv6 technology carried out over the Cuban IP/MPLS backbone telecommunications network.
