Centralized Network Architecture
Implemented a controller-based network architecture to manage and control traffic flow between IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
Case Study
Next-Gen Global Networking
Enabling global satellite and communications enterprises on a mission to connect the world-making the internet accessible to everyone, anywhere on land, in the air, or at sea. We advance satellite, wireless, cloud, and security technologies that empower organizations to securely transmit terabytes of data in real time from space.
Vision
Due to the depletion of IPv4 addresses and the increasing demand for internet connectivity, the company has decided to implement IPv6 dual stack to ensure smooth and uninterrupted communication for its customers.
The challenge
When the three IT companies, Outforce, MindZet and it-Craft, joined forces, it created the need for a new and unifying corporate identity. The new CVI should reflect the power of a national IT supplier - without compromising on the ability to stay present with local clients.
The solution
‘Presence’ is the focal point in a visual identity where neon green diodes in the typography are constantly drawn together across key messaging to support the brand promise: ‘IT with presence’. The sense of togetherness and unity is further stressed in the new brand name ‘Unit IT’ with a subtle reference to the word ‘United’. The work was awarded a Red Dot Design Award in the category ‘Corporate Design & Identity’.
What we did
OpenDaylight Controller Integration
Utilized the OpenDaylight controller, an open-source network controller with comprehensive support for IPv6 dual stack.
IPv4 and IPv6 Protocol Translation
Developed software components to enable communication and dynamic protocol translation between IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
Custom Network Driver
Created a custom network driver for the ODL controller to manage network interfaces on routers and switches.
Key Features
IPv6 Dual Stack Enablement
Enabled seamless coexistence of IPv4 and IPv6 networks to support uninterrupted communication across existing infrastructure.
OpenDaylight-Based Control
Integrated OpenDaylight as the centralized network controller to manage traffic flow, routing behavior, and network interfaces.
Dynamic Protocol Translation
Built software components to support communication and translation between IPv4 and IPv6 environments.
Automation-Driven Network Operations
Used automation and custom network drivers to simplify configuration, improve control, and support scalable network operations.
The
Impact
1
IPv6 Dual Stack
IPv6 dual stack started working seamlessly with the company’s existing network infrastructure.
2
Larger Address Space
IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses, providing around 340 undecillion unique addresses and effectively eliminating address exhaustion.
3
Improved Security
IPv6 mandates IPsec support, offering built-in encryption and authentication for secure data transmission.
4
Enhanced Mobility
IPv6 supports Mobile IPv6, enabling seamless device mobility without address changes for mobile networks and IoT devices.
5
Future-Ready Network
The solution created a scalable, secure, and mobility-ready foundation for modern network growth.
