Abstract

The paper discusses the implementation of IPv6 protocol stack on the top of the reflective object oriented operating system, Apertos. The Internet community is working on a transition from IPv4 to a new Internet protocol, IPv6. Though IPv6 has good design choices, IPv6 is much more complex and harder to implement than IPv4. To reduce complexity and ease the implementation, the paper introduces a reflective OO method to implement protocol handlers. This can reduce the hurdles for implementation and make the software update cost cheaper.
