“…This approach is focused on an IPv6‐only network migration over an autonomous system (AS) while an ISP might have more than one ASes. Dawadi BR et al 9 presented a preliminary analysis on migration cost optimization by joint network migration for service providers. Nikkhah M 17 presented an incremental adoption of IPv6 migration from the perspectives of different service providers like ISPs, content providers, and content users.…”

“…Worldwide IPv6 adoption rate is crossing 24% while its growth in the recent years is exponential 27,28 . In this regard, being correlated technologies, we modeled the joint migration and its benefits in migration cost optimization for service providers towards incremental deployment to hybrid SDN and dual stack IPv6 network in our previous works 9 . This establishes the cost effectiveness of migrating existing legacy IPv4 network into SoDIP6 network.…”

“…If any ISP at a moment decided to migrate to SoDIP6 network, then the utility for an ISP migrated to SoDIP6 network can be expressed as

μ_{k}^{s 6} = p_{k}^{s 6} - c_{k}^{s 6} .

We suppose that SoDIP6 network is backward compatible and hence the utility due to its legacy networking capability will be an added benefit. The literature review shows that the operational cost of SDN and IPv6 networks is comparatively lesser than the existing legacy networking system 3,9,38,39 . It means that SDN‐enabled IPv6 network will have higher payoffs as well as lower operation cost.…”

“…Then Group‐1 and Group‐2 ISPs both have expected payoffs calculated as below.

γ_{1} = \frac{\sum_{k = 1}^{N 1 - X_{4 \to 6}^{s}} μ_{k}^{4}}{N 1 - X_{4 \to 6}^{s}}, γ_{2} = ({}, \frac{\sum_{k = 1}^{N 2} μ_{k}^{s 6}}{N 2} + \frac{\sum_{k = 1}^{X_{4 \to 6}^{s}} μ_{k}^{4 s 6}}{X_{4 \to 6}^{s}}) .

Based on the expected payoffs, Group 1 and Group 2 will have fitness values 43 calculated as

f_{4 t} = 1 - δ + δ . γ_{1} and f_{s 6 t} = 1 - δ + δ . γ_{2}, where δ = ((), \frac{1}{1 + e^{- σ_{4 t}}}) . normalη .

δ measures the migration strength modeled in terms of migration constant η as a coupling coefficient between two networking paradigms (SDN and IPv6) 9 and the logistic regression with σ 4 t in the range from 0 to 1 and hence 0 < = δ < 1 is true. When δ = 0, the fitness does not depend with payoffs and the migration strength.…”

“…This provides better knowledge for the decision makers of ISPs and telcos networks to make strategic decision of their network migration. With this study, fairly sustained Tier‐3 ISPs of developing nations are supposed to be more benefitted for their optimum network transformation planning in terms of time and the cost of migration. Changing the strategy for migration by one ISP affects the business of another ISP within the interconnected ISP networks. Hence, we consider the network migration as an evolutionary process and evaluate the strength of migration and its effects on utilities using well‐known evolutionary gaming approach. IPv6 and SDN, being interrelated networking paradigms, we consider joint migration modeling so that the overall cost of migration can be optimized 9 . The targeted network after migration is considered to be the quad stack (IPv4, IPv6, legacy, and SDN) SoDIP6 network.…”

Summary With the increasing number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, current networking world is suffering in terms of management and operations with lack of IPv4 addresses leading to issues like network address translation (NAT) proliferation, security and quality of services. Software‐defined networking (SDN) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) are the new networking paradigms evolved to address related issues of legacy IPv4 networking. To adapt with global competitive environment and avoid all existing issues in legacy networking system, network service providers have to migrate their networks into IPv6 and SDN‐enabled networks. But immediate transformations of existing network are not viable due to several factors like higher cost of migration, lack of technical human resources, lack of standards and protocols during transitions, and many more. In this paper, we present the migration analysis for proper decision making of network transition in terms of customer demand, traffic engineering, and organizational strength with operation expenditure for network migration using evolutionary gaming approach. Joint migration to SDN‐enabled IPv6 network from game theoretic perspective is modeled and is validated using numerical results obtained from simulations. Our empirical analysis shows the evolutionary process of network migration while different internal and external factors in the organization affect the overall migration. Evolutionary game in migration planning is supportive in decision making for service providers to develop suitable strategy for their network migration. The proposed approach for migration decision making is mostly applicable to fairly sustained service providers who lack economics, regulation/policy, and resources strengths.

The use of information and communication technology (ICT) has resulted in significant impacts on social welfare, economic growth, transparency, and good governance in developing countries like Nepal. Due to the diverse geographic and economic situations, ICT network and service expansions throughout Nepal have been becoming quite challenging. Private network operators mostly have confined their services to urban areas. Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA) collects 2% royalty form Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Telecom Operators as Rural Telecommunications Disbursement Fund (RTDF) to enhance ICT services to rural Nepal. Broadband expansion projects initiated by utilizing RTDF to expand ICT infrastructure throughout Nepal are expected to have considerable societal and economical transformations in the rural communities of Nepal. This paper not only presents the current ICT deployment scenario of Nepal but also studies design, analysis, and evaluation of green networking that leverages both software defined networking (SDN), and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)-aka Software Defined IPv6 (SoDIP6)-for energy efficient networking, robust services, and sustainable ICT ecosystem for developing nations like Nepal. We evaluate the SoDIP6 network by considering a typical ISP with end access networks and present benefits and recommendations. Experimental results show that the proposed SoDIP6 network help significantly reduce the energy consumption and carbon footprint leading to overall economic benefits to service providers and the society. Furthermore, energy-saving practices through SoDIP6 networks and some policy directions to the government to focus on green networking considering sensitivity of climate change and global warming impact in the mountainous and developing countries like Nepal are presented.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

Summary This paper studies a problem for seamless migration of legacy networks of Internet service providers to a software‐defined networking (SDN)‐based architecture along with the transition to the full adoption of the Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) connectivity. Migration of currently running legacy IPv4 networks into such new approaches requires either upgrades or replacement of existing networking devices and technologies that are actively operating. The joint migration to SDN and IPv6 network is considered to be vital in terms of migration cost optimization, skilled human resource management, and other critical factors. In this work, we first present the approaches of SDN and IPv6 migration in service providers' networks. Then, we present the common concerns of IPv6 and SDN migration with joint transition strategies so that the cost associated with joint migration is minimized to lower than that of the individual migration. For the incremental adoption of software‐defined IPv6 (SoDIP6) network with optimum migration cost, a greedy algorithm is proposed based on optimal path and the customer priority. Simulation and empirical analysis show that a unified transition planning to SoDIP6 network results in lower migration cost.
