1. Introduction:-
IPv6 is the next-generation protocol designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to replace IPv4, the current version of the Internet Protocol. IPv4 has been remarkably resilient. However, I am not taking into consideration several issues of importance today, such as a large address space, mobility, security, auto configuration and quality of service. To address these concerns, IETF has developed a suite of protocols and standards known as IPv6, which incorporates many of the concepts and proposed methods for updating IPv4. As a result, IPv6 fixes a number of problems in IPv4 and adds many improvements and features that cater to the future mobile Internet.
IPv6 is expected to replace IPv4 gradually, with the two coexisting for a number of years in a transition period. Servers will be dual stack, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6.
BIND Extensions:-
Maintenance of address information in the DNS is one of several obstacles which have prevented site and provider renumbering from being feasible in IP version 4. To support the storage of IPv6 addresses without impeding renumbering we define the following extensions.
=> A new resource record type, “A6”, is defined to map a domain name to an IPv6 address, with a provision for indirection for leading "prefix" bits.
=> Existing queries that perform additional section processing to locate IPv4 addresses are redefined to do that processing for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
=> A new resource record type, “AAAA” is defined to the Internet class that stores a single IPv6 address
