Concurrently supporting internet protocol version 6 (ipv6) and internet protocol version 4 (ipv4) in a cloud-managed wireless telecommunication network

A system for transmitting telecommunication data, the system comprising:

• at least one memory that stores computer executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor that executes the computer executable instructions to cause actions to be performed, the actions including:
• electronically providing support for Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) network traffic of user equipment (UEs) in a cloud-native, Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN), fifth-generation New Radio (5G NR) cellular telecommunication network;
• and
• electronically providing support for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) network traffic of UEs in the cloud-native, O-RAN, 5G NR cellular telecommunication network while concurrently providing the support for IPv4 network traffic in the cloud-native, O-RAN, 5G NR cellular telecommunication network;
• wherein:
• electronically providing support for both Internet Protocol Version 4 and Internet Protocol Version 6 network traffic of user equipment in the cloud-native, Open Radio Access Network, fifth-generation New Radio cellular telecommunication network comprises a mobile network operator of the cloud-native, Open Radio Access Network, fifth-generation New Radio cellular telecommunication network connecting at least one first vRouter concurrently supporting IPv4 and IPv6 upstream and downstream cellular telecommunication traffic routing at the national data center level of the cloud-native, Open Radio Access Network, fifth-generation New Radio cellular telecommunication network with at least one second vRouter that is located at a pass through edge data center (P-EDG) and that is concurrently supporting IPv4 and IPv6 upstream and downstream cellular telecommunication traffic routing within the cloud-native, Open Radio Access Network, fifth-generation New Radio cellular telecommunication network.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to cause actions to be performed, the actions including:

• electronically providing support for Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) network traffic of user equipment (UEs) in a cloud-native, Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN), fifth-generation New Radio (5G NR) cellular telecommunication network;
• and
• electronically providing support for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) network traffic of UEs in the cloud-native, O-RAN, 5G NR cellular telecommunication network while concurrently providing the support for IPv4 network traffic in the cloud-native, O-RAN, 5G NR cellular telecommunication network;
• wherein:
• electronically providing support for both Internet Protocol Version 4 and Internet Protocol Version 6 network traffic of user equipment in the cloud-native, Open Radio Access Network, fifth-generation New Radio cellular telecommunication network comprises a mobile network operator of the cloud-native, Open Radio Access Network, fifth-generation New Radio cellular telecommunication network connecting at least one first vRouter concurrently supporting IPv4 and IPv6 upstream and downstream cellular telecommunication traffic routing at the national data center level of the cloud-native, Open Radio Access Network, fifth-generation New Radio cellular telecommunication network with at least one second vRouter that is located at a pass through edge data center (P EDG) and that is concurrently supporting IPv4 and IPv6 upstream and downstream cellular telecommunication traffic routing within the cloud-native, Open Radio Access Network, fifth-generation New Radio cellular telecommunication network.
