In this chapter we give an introduction about the topic of the master
thesis, the motivation and problemes that we address.

\section{\label{introduction:ipv4ipv6}IPv4 exhaustion and IPv6 adoption}
The Internet has almost completely run out of public IPv4 space. The
5 Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) report IPv4 exhaustion world wide
(\cite{ripe_exhaustion},
\cite{apnic_exhaustion},
\cite{lacnic:_ipv4_deplet_phases},
\cite{afrinic:_afrin_ipv4_exhaus},
\cite{arin:_ipv4_addres_option}) and LACNIC project complete
exhaustion for 2020 (see figure \ref{fig:lacnicexhaust}).

On the other hand IPv6 adoption grows significantly, with at least
three countries (India, US, Belgium) surpassing 50\% adoption
(\cite{akamai:_ipv6_adopt_visual},
\cite{vyncke:_ipv6_deploy_aggreg_status}).

\cite{cisco:_ipv6}). Traffic from Google users reaches almost 30\% as
of 2019-08-08 (\cite{google:_ipv6_googl}, see figure \ref{fig:googlev6}).

\section{\label{introduction:motivation}Motivation}
IPv6 nodes and IPv4 nodes cannot directly connect to each other,
because the protocols are incompatible to each other.
To allow communication between different protocol nodes,
several transition mechanism have been proposed
\cite{wikipedia:_ipv6}, \cite{rfc4213}.

However installation and configuration of the transition mechanism
usually require in depth knowledge about both protocols and require
additional hardware to be added in the network.

In this thesis we show an in-network transition method based on NAT64
\cite{rfc6146}. Compared to traditional NAT64 methods which require an
extra device in the network, our proposed method is transparent to the
user. This way neither the operator nor the end user has to configure
extra devices, besides the



are incompatible protocols (i.e. host connected by
IPv4 only cannot cannot directly connect to IPv6 hosts and vice
versa),

In this master thesis we focus on the mechanism ``NAT64'' that
translates
This development motivates companies and users

Make it easier
take away burden

In theory line speed - what is reality?

The motivation to write this thesis was...




IPv6 P4

Introduce the related research field/the project.

\section{\label{introduction:taskdescription}The Task}

P4 environment
a lot of potential
Programming language in the network
Not only faster, but also more convienient.

**** High speed NAT64 with P4
 Currently there are two main open source NAT64 solution available:
 tayga and jool. The former is a single threaded, cpu bound user
 space solution, the latter a custom Linux kernel module.

 This thesis challenges this status quo by developing a P4 based
 solution supporting all features of jool/tayga and comparing the
 performance, security and adaptivity of the solutions.

 - Milestone 1: Stateless NAT64/NAT46 translations in P4
 - Milestone 2: Stateful (dynamic) NAT64/NAT46 translations
 - Milestone 3: Hardware adaption

\section{\label{chapter2:linespeed}Line Speed NAT64}
NAT64 in software is CPU bound. Hardware can potentially do this at
line speed.

\section{\label{chapter2:transitition}Simplify IPv6 deployments}
Currently network operators have to focus on two network stacks when
designing networks: IPv6 and IPv4. As To simplify network setups
