While the ubiquity of the Internet creates
vast new opportunities for service providers
and enterprises alike, the rapid growth of
Internet-enabled devices and applications
has led to IPv4 address depletion. This
depletion is forcing many organizations to
begin serious adoption of IPv6 as a solution
to this impending threat to Internet growth.
At the same time, many organizations face
regulatory or governance-driven mandates
to offer IPv6 services to their customers
but struggle with the cost of a complete
network redesign.

The Brocade ADX eases the migration to
IPv6 by enabling service providers and
enterprises to maximize their existing
IPv4-based investments while
communicating with the growing
IPv6-based world, without the need for
“rip-and-replace” upgrades (see Figure 2).

iPv6 gateway:
The Brocade ADX enables
IPv4 networks to interoperate with IPv6
networks via a simple, standards-based
Network Address Translation 64 (NAT64)
gateway. This capability enables IPv4
clients to communicate with new IPv6
services, as well as new IPv6-based
clients to communicate with the traditional
IPv4 networks, all without requiring forklift
upgrades to existing infrastructure.

iPv6 slB gateway:
The Brocade ADX also
allows existing IPv4 applications to be
advertised via an IPv6-based Virtual IP (VIP)
service. Existing servers and applications
can then be slowly migrated to IPv6 on their
natural upgrade cycles. The Brocade ADX
load-balances traffic destined to an IPv6
VIP among IPv4 application servers, which
can be upgraded to support IPv6 at an
evolutionary rate.
