Does MX-One TSE works on IPv6?

[sx0sx]

Hello,

Does anyone can provide me any info regarding the subject above?

My customer planning to replace their existing IPv4 networking to the new IPv6. i do understand that theres alot differences between those IPv4 & the IPv6 such as IP addressing has been increase from 32-bit to 128-bit address space.

Would it affect the TSE network addressing? i know that it will affect the TSW since the IP address range is only from 0-255.

I would be much appreciate if someone can advise/help me regarding this.


Many thanks & Regards.

I don't know if IPv6 is supported at the moment. sure, suse linux can do this, but I am not sure if this will work for the TSE software...

hi,

thanks for your reply whosrdaddy.

i did run a check on some documentation yesterday and found out this in ALEX - Interwork Description - IPLU-First Part (TSE 3.2 lib).

"Transport addresses are always sent and received as IP v4 addresses, i.e. 4 octets (IP address) + 2 octets (port). Thus other address formats (e.g. IPv6) will be rejected and the message will not be forwarded to SSW by IPLU."

This means that the IPLU itself not support the IPv6 address format at all. Atleast not yet. And the way i see it, TSE cant even be run in IPv6 LAN/WAN network since the IPLU is the key component in the TSE interm of IP extns, trunks & inter-LIM connection.

i might be wrong on this since i dont really know how to make IPv4 and IPv6 exist in the same environment.
(for exp: IPv4 addressing being setup on the IPLU are "192.xxx.xxx.xxx" while the LAN/WAN IPv6 addressing use a bigger octets such as "3ffe:1900:4545:3:200:f8ff:fe21:67cf")
As far as i know, TSE only allow for IPv4 decimal addressing exp: 255.255.255.255 but the IPv6 are using hexadecimal addressing.

I wonder is there any clarification/documentation in Aastra/E// website or a plan/roadmap on TSE to tackle this issue since i think it is an important issue regarding implementing the system.


Rgds.

I will look into this,but I don't think IPv6 is one of their main targets for this moment (I think they are focusing on TSE v4 platform)
