network. How to determine which transition
mechanism is applied and to effectively manage
the co-existing network are the main theme of
this paper. Both transition determination and
corresponding management functions are reported.
During the transition determination
phase, gathering and analyzing all IPv6 addresses
in managed scope via exchanging a series
of ICMPv6[2] messages is applied to distinguish
among various transition methods. Regarding
of the management task, based on results
of transition discovery, appropriate management
functions are proposed.
