A data transmission from a first node, such as a user equipment, to a second node, such as an application server or IMS, via a communication network using different types of communication protocols, such as a 3GPP communication network using IPv6 and IPv4, may be controlled by means of a transition mechanism, such as ISATAP. The transition mechanism may be located in the communication network, for example, in a gateway node like a GGSN, which typically acts as a transition mechanism proxy. A data transmission from the first node is commonly forwarded by the network node to the second node wherein the transition mechanism functionality is performed in the network node transparently for the first node. |
