Research on IPv6 address structure based on IPv4-IPv6 dual stack

Abstract

The wide application of the Internet of Things promotes the accelerated deployment of IPv6. During the IPv4-IPv6 transition period, IPv4 and IPv6 will coexist for a long time, and the structure of IPv6 addresses is different from that of ordinary IPv6 addresses. This paper obtains the relevant domain names by performing reverse DNS query on the open source IPv6 address set, and then performs forward query according to the domain name to get the corresponding IPv4 address set. Based on the obtained dual-stack IPv4-IPv6 address pair datasets, firstly we did a statistical analysis of the number of addresses, then studied the correlation between IPv4-IPv6 address pairs and analyzed the structure characteristics of IPv6 address in dual-stack, which provides us with insights into IPv6 address detection.
