Ericsson and Eurov6 project demonstrate IPv6 over GPRS

In the scope of the Eurov6 project, Ericsson and TeliaSonera have successfully demonstrated IPv6 services
over a commercial GPRS network in an international roaming scenario.
The demonstration shows that IPv6 services can be supported in a
commercial mobile infrastructure, even when roaming, using automated
IP tunneling. This can be seen as a stepping-stone toward native IPv6
networks and services including peer-to-peer applications.
An IPv6-enabled laptop with a Sony Ericsson GPRS PCMCIA was used to
set up a connection through a commercial GPRS network in Belgium to
the home network at TeliaSonera in Sweden. The laptop client
automatically set up an IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel using Intra-Site
Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) to TeliaSonera's IPv6
test mobile network, where IPv6 application servers are located and
connectivity to the IPv6 Internet is provided.
