Abstract

A system for providing IPv6 services, including a node registration agent for use in applying for a home address for the device, registering the device to a home agent and informing the device of the home address. A method for providing IPv6 services, comprising: the device accessing an IPv6 network and acquiring a forwarding address; the device making a remote registration to the node registration agent; the node registration agent applying for a home address for the device, registering the device to the home agent, and informing the device of the home address; the communication counterpart of the device sending messages using the home address as the destination address; the home agent receiving the message and forwarding the message to the forwarding address of the device; and eventually providing the device with the IPv6 services. Application of the system and method reduces the cost, and makes possible the IPv6 services.
