  1. Introduction to IPv6 ECE4110

  2. Problems with IPv4 • 32-bit addresses give about 4,000,000 addresses • IPv4 Addresses WILL run out at some point • Some predicted by 2008, obviously did not happen • NAT has helped slow the rate of exhaustion for addresses, but does not solve the problem completely. • Rapid increase in routing tables as network grows • Variable size header (20 bytes fixed + options) • Options have limited use due to limited size

  3. IPv6 History • RFC 2460, Basic Protocol 1998 • RFC 2553, IPv6 Socket API, 2003 • RFC 3775, Mobile IPv6, 2004 • RFC 3697, Flow Label Specifications, 2004 • RFC 4291, Address Architecture, 2006

  4. IPv6 Timeline http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0302/ppt/hain.pdf

  5. IPv6 Features • New, fixed size header format • Large Address Space (about 10^38 addresses) • Better Support for Hierarchical Addressing • Smaller routing tables? • Automatic “link-local” address assignment • Includes IPSec (Secure IP) Support • Neighbor Discovery • Extension Headers • Multicast • Quality of Service

  6. IPv6 Address Subnet address used by the organization(fixed length) managed by organization 0 64 128 MAC Network part Host part

  7. IPv6 Address notation • Basic rules • “:” in every 2 bytes • Hex digits • shorthand • heading 0s in each block can be omitted • “0000” → “0” • “0:all zeros in between :0” can be “::”

  8. IPv6 address notation – example • 3ffe:0501:0008:0000:0260:97ff:fe40:efab • 3ffe:501:8:0:260:97ff:fe40:efab • 3ffe:501:8::260:97ff:fe40:feab • ff02:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 • ff02:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 • ff02::1

  9. Types of addresses

  10. Aggregatable global unicast address 0 32 64 96 128bit TLA NLA SLA Interface identifier 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16byte NLA1 NLA2 NLA3 TLA – Top Level Aggregator … assigned for 8Kmajor providers(13+3bits) NLA – Next Level Aggregator … assigned for smaller providers SLA – Site Level Aggregator … subnet numbers within organizations (16bits)

  11. Ver6 Prio Flow Label Payload Length Next Header Hop Limit Source Address Destination Address IPv6 Header Format

  12. IPv6 Extension Headers • Hop-by-Hop Options • Every router on the path must examine and process • Routing Options • Similar to source routing in IPv4 • Fragment Header • Destination Options Header • Options processed at destination node only • Authentication Header • Checksumming • Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) • Remainder of packet is encrypted
