  1. IPv6 Internet Protocol Version 6

  2. Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) • IPv6 solutions to IPv4 disadvantages • IPv6 addressing • IPv6 header • DNS support for IPv6 • Core protocols of IPv6 • IPv6 Neighbor Discovery • Differences between IPv4 and IPv6

  3. Disadvantages of IPv4 • Limited address space • Flat routing infrastructure • Configuration • Security • Quality of service (QoS) • Mobility

  4. IPv6 Solutions to IPv4 Disadvantages • Huge address space • Hierarchical routing infrastructure • Automatic configuration • Built-in security • Better support for QoS • Built-in mobility

  5. Larger Address Space IPv4 • 32 bits or 4 bytes long 4,200,000,000 possible addressable nodes IPv6 • 128 bits or 16 bytes: four times the bits of IPv4 3.4 * 1038 possible addressable nodes 340,282,366,920,938,463,374,607,432,768,211,456 5 * 1028 addresses per person ~= ~= ~= ~=

  6. IPv6 Adressing IPv6 addresses per person 6.5 Billion people on earth IPv6 addresses for every human brain cell on the planet Typical braincell has ~100 Billion cells (your count may vary)

  7. Larger Address Space Enables Address Aggregation • Aggregation of prefixes announced in the global routing table • Efficient and scalable routing • Improved bandwidth and functionality for user traffic

  8. The IPv6 Address Space • 128-bit address space • 128 bits were chosen to allow multiple levels of hierarchy and flexibility in designing hierarchical addressing and routing • Global unicast and anycast addresses are defined by a global routing prefix, a subnet ID, and an interface ID

  9. IPv6 Address Representation • x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x,where xis a 16-bit hexadecimal field • Leading zeros in a field are optional: • 2031:0:130F:0:0:9C0:876A:130B • Successive fields of 0 can be represented as ::, but only once per address. • Examples: • 2031:0000:130F:0000:0000:09C0:876A:130B • 2031:0:130f::9c0:876a:130b • FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 >>> FF01::1 • 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 >>> ::1 • 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 >>> ::

  10. Compressing Zeros • Some IPv6 addresses contain long sequences of zeros • A single contiguous sequence of 16-bit blocks set to 0 can be compressed to “::” (double-colon) • Examples: • FE80:0:0:0:2AA:FF:FE5F:47D1 becomes FE80::2AA:FF:FE5F:47D1 • FEC0:0:0:41CD:2AA:FF:FE5F:47D1 becomes FEC0::41CD:2AA:FF:FE5F:47D1 • FF02:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 (a multicast address) becomes FF02::1

  11. IPv6 Prefixes • Prefix is the part of the address where the bits have fixed values or are the bits of a route or subnet identifier • IPv6 subnets or routes always uses address/prefix-length notation • CIDR notation • Examples: • 3FFE:FFFF:2A:41CD::/64 is a subnet identifier • 3FFE:FFFF:2A::/48 is a route • FF::/8 is an address range

  12. Types of IPv6 Addresses • Unicast • Address of a single interface • One-to-one delivery to single interface • Multicast • Address of a set of interfaces • One-to-many delivery to all interfaces in the set • Anycast • Address of a set of interfaces • One-to-one-of-many delivery to a single interface in the set that is closest • No more broadcast addresses

  13. Unicast IPv6 Addresses • Global addresses • Used on IPv6 Internet • Equivalent to IPv4 public addresses • Local-Use Addresses • Site-local addresses • Equivalent to IPv4 private addresses • Always begin with FEC0 • Link-local addresses • Equivalent to APIPA addresses • Always begin with FE80 Link Local Global Site Local

  14. IPv6 Interface Identifiers • Based on: • Derived from the MAC address of the network adapter to which the address is assigned • Randomly generated to provide IPv4-equivalent anonymity • Assigned during a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection • Assigned during DHCP configuration

  17. Ethernet header IPv6 header Routing header Frag header Auth header ESP header TCP header Application data IPv6 Extension Header types • Routing Header • Fragmentation Header • Hop-by-Hop Options Header • Destinations Options Header • Authentication Header • Encrypted Security Payload Header

  18. DNS Support for IPv6 • AAAA resource records for name-to-address resolutions • PRT resource records in the IP6.ARPA reverse domain for address-to-name resolutions

  19. Core Protocols of IPv6 • IPv6 • Replacement for IPv4 • ICMPv6 • Replacement for ICMP for IPv4 • Neighbor Discovery • Replacement for ARP, Redirect, and Router Discovery for IPv4 • Multicast Listener Discovery • Replacement for IGMPv2 for IPv4

  20. IPv6 Neighbor Discovery • Messages • Neighbor Solicitation • Neighbor Advertisement • Router Solicitation • Router Advertisement • Redirect • Processes • Address resolution • Duplicate address detection • Router discovery • Redirect • Neighbor unreachability detection

  21. Stateless Autoconfiguration • A router sends network information to all the nodes on the local link. • A host can autoconfigure itself by appending its IPv6 interface identifier (64-bit format) to the local link prefix (64 bits). • The result is a full 128-bit address that is usable and guaranteed to be globally unique.

  22. A Standard Stateless Autoconfiguration • Stage 1: The PC sends a router solicitation to request a prefix for stateless autoconfiguration.

  23. A Standard Stateless Autoconfiguration (Cont.) • Stage 2: The router replies with a router advertisement.
