The future growth and sustainability of the internet must switch from IPv4 to IPv6. However, the widespread adoption of IPv6 faces numerous challenges, including the need for infrastructure upgrades and service provider support. In this thesis, we propose an innovative approach to promoting IPv6 connectivity by leveraging IPv4 tunneling to bring IPv6 capabilities to end users without requiring a complete transition to IPv6. By allowing users to test IPv6 connectivity through tunneling, we aim to familiarize them with the benefits of IPv6 and encourage a gradual migration. This thesis presents an in-depth analysis of the advantages and challenges of this approach, along with practical implementation and evaluation. The practical implementation of this approach took place in collaboration with InfoCamere, the IT Society of the Italian Chambers of Commerce, and VSIX, an Internet Exchanger with the primary objective of promoting the use of the Internet in Veneto through cooperation between local, national, and international Internet Service Providers. The partnership with Info- Camere and VSIX allowed for real-world deployment of the IPv4 tunneling strategy within a dynamic network environment, providing valuable insights into its feasibility and effectiveness. The results of this collaboration showcase the potential of IPv4 tunneling as an effective strategy for promoting IPv6 adoption while minimizing disruption to existing IPv4 networks. Furthermore, this practical application emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts in advancing internet technology for a sustainable future in addition to the technical aspects.
La crescita futura e la sostenibilità di Internet devono passare da IPv4 a IPv6. Tuttavia, l'ampia adozione di IPv6 si trova di fronte a numerose sfide, tra cui la necessità di aggiornamenti infrastrutturali e il supporto da parte dei fornitori di servizi. In questa tesi, proponiamo un approccio innovativo per promuovere la connettività IPv6 sfruttando il tunneling IPv4 per portare le capacità IPv6 agli utenti finali senza richiedere una transizione completa a IPv6. Consentendo agli utenti di testare la connettività IPv6 attraverso il tunneling, miriamo a familiarizzarli con i vantaggi di IPv6 e a incoraggiare una migrazione graduale. Questa tesi presenta un'analisi approfondita dei vantaggi e delle sfide di questo approccio, insieme a un'implementazione pratica e alla valutazione. L'implementazione pratica di questo approccio è avvenuta in collaborazione con InfoCamere, la Società IT delle Camere di Commercio italiane, e VSIX, uno scambiatore di Internet con l'obiettivo primario di promuovere l'uso di Internet in Veneto attraverso la cooperazione tra fornitori di servizi Internet locali, nazionali e internazionali. La partnership con InfoCamere e VSIX ha consentito la distribuzione del tunneling IPv4 in un ambiente di rete dinamico, fornendo preziosi spunti sulla sua fattibilità ed efficacia. I risultati di questa collaborazione mostrano il potenziale del tunneling IPv4 come strategia efficace per promuovere l'adozione di IPv6 riducendo al minimo le interruzioni nelle reti IPv4 esistenti. Inoltre, questa applicazione pratica sottolinea l'importanza degli sforzi collaborativi nell'avanzamento della tecnologia Internet per un futuro sostenibile, oltre agli aspetti tecnici.
