SELECTING AND APPLYING A COMMUNICATION VERSION

摘要

A method and system are provided to select a communication version. An embodiment of the method includes obtaining destination host address associated with a destination host attribute, such a domain name. Thereafter, an address version for each destination host address is identified. Upon identifying address versions for each destination host address, it is determined if the destination host address is associated with a preferred address version. In such an instance where the destination host address is associated with a preferred address version, such as Internet Protocol version 6, a corresponding communication version is selected.
