Abstract:
1. A method comprising: providing a home agent server, coupled to an Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) network, managing Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) clients; providing a first IPv6-over-IPv4 client, coupled to the home agent server via the IPv4 network; from the first IPv6-over-IPv4 client, sending to the home agent server a first message comprising an IPv4 address and IPv6 address associated with the first IPv6-over-IPv4 client; implementing a first IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel in the IPv4 network between the first IPv6-over-IPv4 client and home agent server; through the first IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel, transferring information from the first IPv6-over-IPv4 client directly to home agent server in an encrypted format over the IPv4 network; at the home agent server, decrypting the encrypted information from the first IPv6 client into unencrypted format; from the home agent server, transmitting the information in the unencrypted format to a first stream server of a plurality of stream servers over an IPv4 connection; from the first stream server, transmitting the information in the unencrypted format to a plurality of IPv4 client devices using an IPv4 connection; from the home agent server, transmitting the unencrypted second stream to a first stream server of a plurality of stream servers; and from the first stream server, transmitting the unencrypted second stream in the unencrypted format to a plurality of IPv4 client devices using IPv4 connections.
