Welcome to the first site on the applicability of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) to Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS)! The objective of this page is to gather information on IPv6 related to Cooperative ITS.

• ITS meeting at IETF (2012-03-26)

• EC ITS Directive (Aug.2010)
• EC Mandate M/453 to ETSI and CEN (ITS Station Reference Architecture and its set of standards, including IPv6)
• ITS would need tons of IP addresses (e.g. minimum 1 per vehicle, but more presumably tens per vehcile): there won't be any public IPv4 addresses left in a couple of years
  • IPv4 address space depleted at IANA level since Feb.1st 2011 (IANA provides block to regional entities providing sub-blocks to ISPs and large groups)
• 2008-05: EC IPv6 Action Plan
  • Streaming vidéo
  • An unlimited source of Internet addresses to be on stream in Europe by 2010
  • Action Plan
• 2007-11: Impact of IPv6 on vertical sectors

  • "IPv6, the new Internet Protocol" the old “IPv6 bible”)
  • IPv6 Essentials from Silvia Hagen in both German and English: the good thing about them is that Silvia writes it in a way that is also understandable by people who didn't do much networking before. The other books can be a bit more technical, but as this is a technical topic that should not scare you away from them [as stated on the IETF IPv6 mailing list ipv6@ietf.org on October 2007 (https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6)]

• LARA/IMARA's IPv6 sensor (temperature and humidity) (Data not always available as the sensor is located behind an IPv6 Mobile Router (NEMO) used for development purposes)
