ADAPTIVE REPRESENTATION OF IPv6 ADDRESS DEEPTHI S, PRASHANTI G & SANDHYA RANI K Assistant Professor, Computer Science and Engineering, Vignan‘s Lara Institute of Technology and Science, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, India ABSTRACT Introduction of IPv6 made drastic changes in IT Industry in recent years due to new innovation of Cloud computing. As IPv6 deployment increases, there will be a dramatic increase in the need to use IPv6 addresses and so many services running in Cloud computing will face problems associated with IPv6 addressing[6]: the notation is too long (39 bytes), there are too many variants of a single IPv6 address and a potential conflict may exist with conventional http_URL notation caused by the use of the colon (:).This paper proposes a new scheme to represent an IPv6 address with a shorter, more compact notation (26 bytes), without variants or conflicts with http_URL. The proposal is known as adaptive representation of IPv6 address with Base64 and uses the well-known period (or dot) as a group delimiter instead of the colon and non symbolic usage of the Base 64.The paper mainly concentrated on reducing the no of segments in the IPv6 address. This is an Enhancement for Non Symbolic Representation of IPv6 address. Here we discussed regarding merits and demerits of other works that predate this paper have been reviewed and evaluated. Cloud computing, as a continuously emerging mainstream of network-based applications, is likely to be a forerunner in the use of IPv6 as the base protocol. As a result, Cloud computing will benefit most from the new, compact and user-friendly textual representation of IPv6 address proposed by this paper.

Cloud computing builds on established trends for driving the cost out of the delivery of services while increasing the speed and agility with which services are deployed. It shortens the time from sketching out application architecture to actual deployment. It incorporates virtualization, on-demand deployment, Internet delivery of services, and open source software. Cloud computing relies on the infrastructure of Internet; as a consequence, it will be significantly affected by the transition from current IPv4 to next generation IPv6[10]. It is notable that all cloud computing service modes Software as a Service: In this model an application is hosted as a service to customer who accesses it via the Internet. Platform as a Service: PaaS services include application design, development, testing, deployment and hosting. In this not only services but server, memory and other platforms can be used and subscriber needs to pay as per terms and conditions. Infrastructure as a Service: The Cloud Infrastructure services delivers the platform virtualization which shows only the desired features and hides the other ones using the environment in which servers, software or network equipment are fully outsourced as the utility computing which will based on the proper utilization of the resources by using the Principle of International Journal of Computer Science and Engineering (IJCSE) ISSN 2278-9960 Vol. 2, Issue 4, Sep 2013, 37-48 © IASET
