Transition Strategies From IPv4 To IPv6: The Case Of GRNET

In this paper we describe the results that came out from the project of employing the IPv6 protocol over the Greek Research & Technology Network (GRNET). In the way of this process one of the big issues that had to be considered was the transition strategy that would be deployed. The main goals of a transition strategy are to be smooth enough and therefore to put the less of configuration overhead to the end users and the network administrators.
