Research of IP traceback technology based on transition from IPv4 to IPv6

With the IPv4 address exhaustion and the IPv6 networks deployment,it will confront the situation that IPv4 networks and IPv6 networks will coexist for a very long time.At present,there have been a variety of proposed mechanisms for IPv4 to IPv6 transition,the deployment of these technologies will increase the complexity of IPv4/IPv6 hybrid network and bring new challenges for handling and traceback security incidents.Therefore,IP traceback problems in IPv4 to IPv6 transition network environments need to be solved quickly.This paper reviewed IP address traceability under IP address safety management system and the recent evolvement of IP traceback technologies.Then gave an in-depth discuss and analysis to possible solutions for IP traceback in the IPv4 to IPv6 transition environments.In the end,elaborated on new challenges that IP traceback technologies faced,and discussed the future trend of possible research.
