Structuring IPV6 addresses into bit fields to embed language localization and services
Techniques for structuring IP version 6 (IPv6) addresses into bit fields to embed language localization and services information (e.g., and/or other attributes/information) are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/process/computer program product for structuring IPv6 addresses into bit fields to embed language localization and services information includes allocating a configurable portion of an IP version 6 (IPv6) address for a subnet, wherein the subnet includes information that is associated with a geographical location (geolocation); and determining an attribute for a new session based on the subnet.
1 . A system, comprising:
a processor configured to:
allocate a configurable portion of an IP version 6 (IPv6) address for a subnet, wherein the subnet includes information that is associated with a geographical location (geolocation); and
determine an attribute for a new session based on the subnet, wherein the subnet is of a variable size that is used for configurable attribute information; and
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the configurable portion of the IPV6 address further includes tenant information.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the configurable portion of the IPV6 address further includes service type information.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the configurable portion of the IPV6 address further includes service type information to self-identify associated network traffic with a service type.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the configurable portion of the IPV6 address further includes service type information to self-identify associated network traffic with a service type that includes one or more of the following: mobile user (MU), remote node (RN), proxy, and/or another service type.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein determining the attribute for the new session based on the subnet is applied to enable a Software as a Service (SaaS) provider to tailor content based on incoming connection's source IP, enhancing end user experiences.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein determining the attribute for the new session based on the subnet is applied to enable a service provider to tailor content based on a user's geolocation.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein determining the attribute for the new session based on the subnet is applied to enable a web site to display a proper language based on the IPV6 address without requiring an extra header to support language translation.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein determining the attribute for the new session based on the subnet is applied to enable associated network traffic to self-identify its originating cloud.
10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein determining the attribute for the new session based on the subnet is applied to enable associated network traffic to self-identify its originating Secure Access Service Edge (SASE).
11 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising to:
display a proper language to a user based on the determined attribute that includes the geolocation.
12 . A method, comprising:
allocating a configurable portion of an IP version 6 (IPv6) address for a subnet, wherein the subnet includes information that is associated with a geographical location (geolocation); and
determining an attribute for a new session based on the subnet, wherein the subnet is of a variable size that is used for configurable attribute information.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the configurable portion of the IPV6 address further includes tenant information.
14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the configurable portion of the IPV6 address further includes service type information.
15 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the configurable portion of the IPV6 address further includes service type information to self-identify associated network traffic with a service type that includes one or more of the following: mobile user (MU), remote node (RN), proxy, and/or another service type.
16 . The method of claim 12 , wherein determining the attribute for the new session based on the subnet is applied to enable a Software as a Service (SaaS) provider to tailor content based on incoming connection's source IP, enhancing end user experiences.
17 . The method of claim 12 , wherein determining the attribute for the new session based on the subnet is applied to enable a service provider to tailor content based on a user's geolocation.
18 . The method of claim 12 , wherein determining the attribute for the new session based on the subnet is applied to enable a web site to display a proper language based on the IPv6 address without requiring an extra header to support language translation.
19 . The method of claim 12 , wherein determining the attribute for the new session based on the subnet is applied to enable associated network traffic to self-identify its originating cloud.
20 . The method of claim 12 , wherein determining the attribute for the new session based on the subnet is applied to enable associated network traffic to self-identify its originating Secure Access Service Edge (SASE).
21 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising displaying a proper language to a user based on the determined attribute that includes the geolocation.
22 . A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:
allocating a configurable portion of an IP version 6 (IPv6) address for a subnet, wherein the subnet includes information that is associated with a geographical location (geolocation); and
determining an attribute for a new session based on the subnet, wherein the subnet is of a variable size that is used for configurable attribute information.
23 . The computer program product of claim 22 , wherein the configurable portion of the IPV6 address further includes tenant information.
24 . The computer program product of claim 22 , wherein the configurable portion of the IPV6 address further includes service type information.
25 . The computer program product of claim 22 , wherein the configurable portion of the IPV6 address further includes service type information to self-identify associated network traffic with a service type that includes one or more of the following: mobile user (MU), remote node (RN), proxy, and/or another service type.
26 . The computer program product of claim 22 , wherein determining the attribute for the new session based on the subnet is applied to enable associated network traffic to self-identify its originating Secure Access Service Edge (SASE).
