摘要：This paper deals with issues, which network designers, would have to deal with once IPV6, which is the layer 3 Internet Protocol of the future comes into mass existence. IPV6 will have compatibility issues with most of the existing routing protocols especially with Border Gateway Protocol (BGPV4), which is a layer 7 protocol on which the backbone of the Internet runs. BGP Version 4 is an interdomain routing protocol. The primary function of BGP is to provide and exchange network reachability information between Autonomous Systems (AS).In this paper, we have dealt with only one problem out of the many, which we believe will arise, once both BGPV4 and IPV6 co-exist. We, in our crest to explore the issues of compatibility between the two different protocols, have observed that a lot of research has gone into IPV6, but none whatsoever is been followed up on modifying BGPV4 in accordance to IPV6. The reason for this could probably be that since IPV6, is still at a nascent stage of implementation in real world, the grave problems are yet to be dealt with as far as routing protocols are concerned. We believe since IPV6’s implementation is inevitable, the issues raised in this paper will have to be dealt with at some point in the future and the solution proposed is a step in that direction
