As a key component of railway transportation systems,the railway communication network plays a crucial role in this data age.As the next generation internet protocol,IPv6 has larger addressing space,better security,and higher performance.It has become an inevitable choice for the evolution of the railway communication networks,and provided broad prospects for the upgrade of railway communication networks and the development of smart railways.Taking the railway communication networks of China Railway Jinan Group Co,Ltd.(CR-Jinan)as the research object,this paper discusses the evolution method of IPv6 in the railway communication networks of CR-Jinan.Making use of the SRv6 technology,it also proposes a native IPv6 based SRv6 application plan for CR-Jinan,to meet the requirements of service applications in the future era of railway smart cloud network,such as jumping into the cloud.Thus,this paper provides a deployment plan and application suggestions for the development and construction of IPv6 based railway communication networks for CR-Jinan.
