Abstract
The use of cellular broadband for accessing the Internet and otherdata services via smartphones, tablets, and notebook/netbookcomputers has increased rapidly as a result of high-speed packet datanetworks such as HSPA, HSPA+, and now Long-Term Evolution (LTE) beingdeployed. Operators that have deployed networks based on 3rdGeneration Partnership Project (3GPP) network architectures arefacing IPv4 address shortages at the Internet registries and arefeeling pressure to migrate to IPv6. This document describes thesupport for IPv6 in 3GPP network architectures. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
