- 26. IPv6 IPv6 uses 16 byte addresses Presentation format is colon/hexidecimal For example FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:0756:4228:1228:1641 1080:0000:0000:0000:0008:0800:200C:0417 1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417 (shortened) 1080::8:800:200C:417 (compressed) ::1 is the loopback IPv6 address :: is the unspecified IPv6 address
- 27. IPv6 Network interfaces have 2 IPv6 addresses − Assigned (global) IPv6 address 806::1:2 − Link Local IPv6 address FE80 ++ Mac Address (020000000008) FE80:0:0:0:0200:0000:0100:0008 FE80::200:0:100:8
- 29. Deployment Issues Transitioning to IPv6… Contrary to popular belief, IPv6 is not backward compatible…
- 30. Dual IP Stacks Simplest method: Both stacks in parallel in hosts and routers Upgrade routers, and host OS Host upgrade can be gradual Application support: Existing applications continue to run IPv6 applications can be introduced Interoperation of v4 and v6 is another issue Applications to be modified to handle both? Hmm ...

BSI Pseudo-dual-mode Stack Implementation Application API Partition Although there are actually two stacks running in two separate partitions, the Application IPv4 IPv6 Stack Programming Interface (API) phase Stack Stack Partitions (located in the application partition) controls which stack is used for a specific request. The application thinks it is talking to a dual-mode stack, yet the stacks are still isolated from each other enhancing performance and reliability.
