  1. Interoperability Between IPv4 and IPv6 Inter Operability Between IPv4 and IPv6 Team Members Aman Preet Singh Rohit Singh Nipun Aggarwal Chirag Shah Eugene Novak CSE 8343 Group 3 Advanced OS

  2. Interoperability Between IPv4 and IPv6 Why IPv6? Problems in IPv4 • Shortage of IP addresses • Variable header size • No support for Qos • Security • Not Plug n Play IPv6 advantage over IPv4 • Scalability • Fixed Header • Quality of Service • Security • Plug and play • Optimization CSE 8343 Group 3 Advanced OS

  3. Interoperability Between IPv4 and IPv6 Why Interoperability ? • IPv6 is a better option • IPv4 is omnipresent • Ipv6 is not an upgrade for IPv4 • Moral of the story • Interoperability between IPv4 and IPv6 is compulsory CSE 8343 Group 3 Advanced OS

  5. Scenario A: IPv6 nodes needs to communicate with IPv4 nodes • Solution: Use Dual IP Stacks • The hosts implement both protocols • UseIPv4 compatible IPv6 addresses Interoperability Between IPv4 and IPv6 Methods for Interoperability: Dual IP stack • Disadvantages: • Does not addresses the problem of shortage of IP addresses • Is burdensome for the routers • Solution: • Network Address Translator - Protocol Translator (NAT-PT) • Dual Stack Transition Mechanism, or DSTM CSE 8343 Group 3 Advanced OS

  6. Interoperability Between IPv4 and IPv6 Methods for Interoperability: Tunneling • Scenario B: Islands of IPv6 need IPv4 network to communicate • Solution: Use Tunneling • Append IPv4 header to IPv6 packet • Route the packet to a host/router having dual • IP stacks CSE 8343 Group 3 Advanced OS

  7. Interoperability Between IPv4 and IPv6 Methods for Interoperability: Tunneling • Terminology: • IPv4-only node: A host or router that implements only IPv4 • IPv6/IPv4 node: A host or router that implements both IPv4 • and IPv6 • IPv6-only node: A host or router that implements only IPv6 • Tunneling can be used in a variety of ways: • Router-to-Router -- IPv6/IPv4 routers interconnected by • an IPv4 infrastructure can tunnel IPv6 packets between • themselves • Host-to-Router -- IPv6/IPv4 hosts can tunnel IPv6 packets • to an intermediary IPv6/IPv4 router that is reachable via • an IPv4 infrastructure • Host-to-Host -- IPv6/IPv4 hosts that are interconnected by • an IPv4 infrastructure can tunnel IPv6 packets between • themselves • Router-to-Host -- IPv6/IPv4 routers can tunnel IPv6 packets • to their final destination IPv6/IPv4 host CSE 8343 Group 3 Advanced OS

  8. Interoperability Between IPv4 and IPv6 Methods for Interoperability: Tunneling • Techniques of Tunneling: • Configured Tunneling • Used for router-to-router and host-to-router tunneling • The endpoint of the tunnel is different from the • destination of the packet being tunneled • The tunnel endpoint address must be determined from • configuration information on the node performing the • tunneling • Automatic Tunneling • Used for host-to-host and router-to-host tunneling • The endpoint of the tunnel is same as the destination • of the packet being tunneled • IPv4 compatible addresses are used • IPv6 packets that are not addressed to an IPv4-compatible • address can not be tunneled using automatic tunneling CSE 8343 Group 3 Advanced OS

  9. Disadvantages of Tunneling: • Not scalable • Not feasible for dial up users • Solution: • 6over4 • 6to4 • Tunnel Brokering Interoperability Between IPv4 and IPv6 Methods for Interoperability: Tunneling CSE 8343 Group 3 Advanced OS

  10. C B A NAT-PT IPv6 IPv4 Interoperability Between IPv4 and IPv6 Interoperability Techniques: NAT-PT • Network Address Translation - Protocol Translation • Uses a pool of V4 addresses for assignment to V6 nodes • Requires no change at the end nodes • Protocol translation is done using SIIT protocol (rfc 2765) • Maintains session information • How NAT-PT works: • IPv6 Node A wants to communicate with the IPv4 Node C • Node A creates a packet as following: • Source Address, SA=FEDC:BA98::7654:3210 and Destination • Address, DA = PREFIX::132.146.243.30 CSE 8343 Group 3 Advanced OS

  11. Interoperability Between IPv4 and IPv6 Interoperability Techniques: NAT-PT • How NAT-PT works: continued …… • NAT-PT locally allocates an address (e.g: 120.130.26.10) • from its pool of addresses • The packet is translated to IPv4 • The translation parameters are cached for the duration • of the session and the IPv6 to IPv4 mapping is retained • by NAT-PT • Thus resulting IPv4 packet has SA=120.130.26.10 and • DA=132.146.243.30 • Disadvantage: • Pool of V4 addresses assigned for translation purposes is • exhausted CSE 8343 Group 3 Advanced OS

  12. Interoperability Between IPv4 and IPv6 Interoperability Techniques: DSTM • Dual Stack Transition Mechanism • Provides interoperability in an IPv6 dominant network • Transition mechanism and not a protocol • Main Components • DSTM server • DSTM client • DSTM border router DSTM Server B A DSTM Border Router IPv4 IPv6 CSE 8343 Group 3 Advanced OS

  13. Tunnel Server User Tunnel Broker Tunnel Server Tunnel Server Interoperability Between IPv4 and IPv6 Interoperability Techniques: Tunnel Brokering • Tunnel Brokering • Allows IPv6 isolated islands to communicate through • IPv4 network • Ideal choice for small IPv6 site and hosts • Dedicated servers configure tunnels client’s behalf • The tunnel broker model has the following components • Tunnel Broker • Tunnel Server • Dual stack Host (user) CSE 8343 Group 3 Advanced OS

  14. Interoperability Between IPv4 and IPv6 Interoperability Techniques: Tunnel Brokering • Using the Tunnel Broker • The Client • Submits the request to access the services of the • Tunnel Broker • Provides its IPv4 address • The Tunnel Broker • Assigns a Tunnel Server to the client • Assigns IPv6 global addresses to the tunnel end points • Assigns a lifetime to the tunnel • Sends the configuration information to the client • Tunnel Management • Lifetime Timer • Using some sort of keep alive mechanism • Make the Tunnel Server periodically deliver to the Tunnel • Broker the IPv6 traffic statistics for every active tunnel CSE 8343 Group 3 Advanced OS

  15. Interoperability Between IPv4 and IPv6 Interoperability Techniques: 6to4 • 6to4 • Allows IPv6 sites to communicate with each other over • the IPv4 network without explicit tunnel setup • Typically implemented in border routers • At least one IPv4 address required for the site • IPv6 domains build their own IPv6 prefix based on the IPv4 • address of the border router • The border router can easily tunnel the packet due to the • use of prefixes CSE 8343 Group 3 Advanced OS

  16. Interoperability Between IPv4 and IPv6 Other Interoperability Techniques • 6over4 • 6over4 is an elegant solution for interconnecting isolated IPv6 • hosts in an IPv4 site. IPv6 multicast is implemented over IPv4 • multicast. Using IPv6 multicast, IPv6 nodes can then use • Neighbor Discovery to configure themselves. • IPv4 multicast is not generally available on all networks, • and there are scalability issues with this approach. • Dual Stack ALG • Dual-stack servers are used as proxies to perform protocol • translation with one proxy server per application (http, ftp, • smtp, etc) • Very few IPv4 addresses are required (they are only needed • for the proxies)and • protocol translation step may not be such a large price to pay • in situations where firewalls and proxy server already exist, • which is the case in many LAN CSE 8343 Group 3 Advanced OS
