Conclusions and outlook
IPv6 Transition and Security in mobile networks

The first part of the paper presented the possibilities available to operators for integrating IPv6 into mobile architectures, in two main ways, one consisting in allocating only an IPv6 prefix to the client, and the second in allocating an IPv6 prefix in addition to the IPv4 address. The second part of the document describes a number of security issues specific to mobile networks on the one hand, and to the IPv6 protocol on the other, as well as some ways of dealing with them.
