6Diffsuion-GAN: Diffusion-GAN Based IPv6 Address Generation

As the number of Internet devices proliferates, IPv6 becomes the next-generation protocol to address address shortages. However, the large address space of IPv6 brings new challenges to network scanning and management. Existing techniques are deficient in the efficiency and quality of IPv6 address scanning. This study proposes 6Diffusion-GAN, a novel architecture that generates more efficient IPv6 addresses through a diffusion process and a feedback mechanism. Experimental results show that 6Diffusion-GAN outperforms the existing algorithms in both hit rate and generation rate, and significantly improves the nonalias rate of addresses to 92.19 %, providing new ideas and tools for IPv6 network management.
