  1. Some random thoughts of IPv6 Marcial White University of Advancing Technology

  2. The gameplan • What is the internets? • (hint: not a truck) • Ok so WTF happened to IPv5? • What is IPv6? • Why is IPv6? • How do I IPv6?

  3. What is the internet? • Basically, a bunch of little networks connected to each other • Internet protocol • Unique global computer addressing • Currently on: IPv4 (aka TCP/IPv4) • TCP/UDP • Addressing • Subnetting • NAT

  4. IPv4 – Addresses\Notation • 32-bit addresses • 1 bit = 0 or 1 • 32 bits = xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx • Dot-decimal notation • Decimal = 0-9 • Dot = . o_0 • Example address: 192.168.1.100

  5. Limited Addresses • 32 bits, 2 possibilities per digit (0 or 1) • 2^32 • 4,294,967,296 <(~~ possible addresses • 6,528,089,562 <(~~ people on the earth (1) • ~ 729,200,000 <(~~ people on line in 2003 (2) • (3) Forbes Magazine says … • 1/3 of the possible addresses are already in use • 1/3 of the possible addresses have already been spoken for • 1/3 of the possible addresses need to supply the rest of the world with myspace accounts 

  6. Address math • 1/3 of 4,294,967,296 • 1,431,655,765 IP addresses in use • 1,431,655,765 IP’s per 729,200,000 peeps • Almost 2 IP’s per person average • 5,798,889,562 people aren’t on line • If everyone in the world tried to be on line with 1 IP per person, 2,233,122,266 people would not get addresses! • ZOMG Imagine life without YouTube OR 4Chan!!!

  7. Subnetting • Temporarily fixes limited addressing • Network ID • Host ID • Classes • NAT • CIDR

  8. Subnetting Example • IP: 192.168. 1 .100 • SNM: 255.255.255.0 • And in binary, just to make it fun: • IP: 11000000 10101000 00000001 01100100 • SNM: 11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 • Network ID becomes the first three octets • 192.168.1 • Host ID becomes the last octet • .100

  9. CIDR/NAT • Classless Inter-Domain Routing • 24 x 1’s in the SNM 255.255.255.0 • So, CIDR notation is: 192.168.1.100/24 • Network Address Translation • Provides a way to build networks inside of networks, using a special class of IP’s • Uses another computer’s IP to communicate with external networks (including the internet)

  10. Classes • Classes depend on the first octet of the IP address, except for a few special cases • The 5 classes and their default SNM: • A, B, C, D, E • Class A /8 • 1.0.0.0 through 126.0.0.0 • Class B /16 • 128.0.0.0 through 191.255.0.0 • Class C /24 • 192.0.0.0 through 223.255.255.0 • Class D • 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.0 • Class E • 240.0.0.0 through 255.255.255.0

  11. Communicating • Transmission Control Protocol • Connection based protocol • 3 way handshake • Great for file transfers and grabbing web pages • User Datagram Protocol • Connectionless based protocol • Great for real time data transfer • Shoutcast (jungletrain.net) • Video conferencing

  12. The internet is … • TCP/IPv4 + DNS = INTARWEBBING • Security through • IPSec (AH/ESP) • Firewalls (similar to ACL) • Network Design (SPF?) • IDS • IPS • OBSCURITY • which we know isn’t very secure • If it weren’t for those kids and their stupid dog

  13. In other words … The Internet = a big pain in the ass

  14. Why? • DARPA scope limitations • DARPAnet • Initially funded by the infamous Al Gore • Intended to be a redundant data system that could function without a set path • Fancy hard drive backups • No casual users • Who would want to use these computer thingies anyways?

  15. So what do we do from here? • Development of IPng • SIPP • Simple Internet Protocol Plus • RFC1710 • TUBA • TCP and UDP with Bigger Addresses • RFC1347, RFC1561 • CATNIP • Common Architecture for Next-Generation IP • RFC1707

  16. Whats so cool about this stuff? According to RFC-Archive.org (4): • Larger address scheme • Simplified header format • Integrated Authentication\Privacy • IPSec • Fragmentation • MTU-Discovery eliminates the need for fragmentation

  17. Why not IPv5? According to O’Reilly (5): • Developed to optimize streaming • Connection oriented • Guaranteed QoS • Little to no standardization support • Too specialized • IPv5 was never meant to replace IPv4, merely to supplement it

  18. So what is IPv6? Basically IPv4 with: • 128 bit addresses • Address auto-configuration • Mandatory multicast addresses • Mandatory IPSec • Simplified header structure • Multiple addresses on the same interface And a few other nifty features…

  19. IPv6 Highlighted • Fixes address space issue • Eliminates the NEED for NAT • IPv6 can still be NAT’ed for pseudo-anonymity • Required security • Simplifies routing • MAC based unique addressing

  20. IPv6 Addresses • 128 bits • 2^128 • 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 • Yes, that’s 12 commas • Roughly 800 addresses per gram of matter in the Earth (6) • Hexidecimal notation • Hexidecimal 0-15 (or 0-9, a-f) • Example address: fe80::260:8ff:fecc:d80e/64 • Note : instead of .

  21. Problems (6)? • Router storage limitations • Allocation policies • Rolling out IPv6 without a full understanding will end up a larger mess than IPv4 • In which case, the internet would be nearly unsalvageable • Politics vs. Technology

  22. Router storage limitations? • Older Cisco 2600 series routers • 256 megs of storage space • 2,147,483,648 bits of storage • 67,108,864 IPv4 Addresses • 16,777,216 IPv6 Addresses • Shouldn’t be TOO bad … • However ……

  23. Allocation policies • Geographic allocation • Much like current IPv4 • Who gets what IPs? • How do we keep track of 3.4×1038 addresses? • Big ups routing table MASSIF • BOH • P.s. I <3 jungle

  24. Early ’90s Ford ABS • They really sucked • So did IPv4 when it was realized that we didn’t plan for the future • NAT was a shoddy workaround… • We can’t let that happen to IPv6 (7) • 79,228 hundred billion billion times the addresses of IPv4 • 79,228 hundred billion billion times the clusterf*ck if we screw this up

  25. Ideas? Anyone? Bueller? • Mike O’Dell of UUNET proposes GSE: • Alternate Addressing Architecture for IPv6 (8) • Basically: • Split up a 16 byte address into an 8 byte EID and 8 byte “Routing Goop(RG)” (locator) • Resembles a NAT structure, but the RG is a manipulable by the routing system • Packets get modified in realtime • Allows for scalable multi-homing

  26. Good idea but… • Purists argue this is in violation of the end-to-end principle of networking • And more importantly • Implementing this would require a few incompatible changes to tcp/udp • We don’t want to rewrite the internet, again • Controversially insecure • Currently not in use, no momentum

  27. So what do we do? Familiarize yourself with IPv6 so that you can have an opinion, and participate in the community of developers and testers to further development of what could be a really useful protocol.

  28. And dhen? So what do we do from here? Indeed … that is the question. For more depth on IPv6, check out the new class next semester! Registration opens in a couple weeks, be ready! TCP/IPv4 is the pre-requisite

  29. A.D.D. IPv6 • Can’t sit still long enough to learn the in’s and out’s of IPv6? • Check out freenet6.com for a free IPv6 extension (part of your geographically assigned IPv6 address) • TSPc • Linux Kernel 2.4.x and up • USAGI • KAME
