IPv4Forth revision of development of Internet Protocol(IP)Most widely used protocol at presentConnection-less protocol used on packet-switched Link Layer networksA system of addressesTo identify devices32 bits232 combinationsNearly 4.3 billionNot enough and more addresses are needed

Problems of IPv41.Insuffieciency- Only four bytesMaximum nodes ~ 4.3 billionMuch less than the human population (6.799 billion)Not enough for growing number of users

Will be exhausted in near future2.Increasing routing information- Rapid growth of routing tables in backbones3. Increasing the number of Network Address Translation (NAT) - Breaking the Internet architecture

Problems of IPv44.Security issues - Number of ways to encrypt IPv4 trafficExample: IPSec - No real standard encryption method5.Real-time delivery of multimedia content and necessary bandwidth allocationQuality of Service (QoS) Different interpretationsQoS compliant devices are not compatible one another

Network Address Translation(NAT)Allows to maintain public IP addresses and private IP addresses separatelyAlso used in server load balancingThis operates in side the routerMaintains an address poolFirst the destination is checkedThe address is translated The network address information in the datagram is modified

IPv6Next development version of Internet protocolAddress size is 128 bitsIPv6 address representation xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxxEach x is a 4bit hexadecimal digit IPv6 addresses range from 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 to ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff.

IPv6Two other formatsOmit leading zeros Specify IPv6 addresses by omitting leading zerosE.g. : 1050:0000:0000:0000:0005:0600:300c:326b can be written as 1050:0:0:0:5:600:300c:326bDouble colon Specify IPv6 addresses by using double colons (::) in place of a series of zerosE.g. : ff06:0:0:0:0:0:0:c3 may be written as ff06::c3 Double colons can be used only once in one IP address

What’s Good about IPv6?Bigger address space128 bits for addressingNo NATs are neededAllows full IP connectivityFor Computers, Mobile devices MobilityFacility for mobile devices Allows roaming between different networks

What’s Good about IPv6?Built-in securityIncludes IpsecAuthenticationEncryptionCompression

IPv6 address notationThree possible notation typesDepends on content of address you need represent1.Standard notation - Represent the address as eight 16-bit hexadecimal words separated by ``:'' (colons) - E.g : FEDC:BA98:0332:0000:CF8A:000C:2154:7313 or FEDC:BA98:332:0:CF8A:C:2154:7313.2.Compressed notation - Multiple fields of zeros - Represent a single contiguous group of zero fields within an IPv6 address - Uses a double colon``::‘’ - E.g.: 1762:0:0:0:0:B03:1:AF18 FF01:0:0:0:CA:0:0:2 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 can be represented as1762::B03:1:AF18 FF01::CA:0:0:2 ::1 ::

IPv6 address notationMixed notation For IPv4 addresses encapsulated in IPv6 addressesRepresented using the original IPv4 ``.'' notation 0:0:0:0:0:0:127.32.67.15 0:0:0:0:0:FFFF:127.32.67.15Possible to use the compressed notation::127.32.67.15::FFFF:127.32.67.15

IPv6 UnicastTo transmit data from one point to another.Multiple users might requestSame data From the same server At the same time duplicate data streams are transmitted one to each userScope may be Global or LocalGlobal for worldwide communicationLocal for communication within a site

IPv6 multicastAbility to send a single packet to multiple destinationsNo broadcastAbility to send a packet to all hosts on the attached linksame effect can be achieved by sending a packet to the link-local all hosts multicast groupApplicationsTelephony and video conferenceDatabase simultaneous updateParallel computingReal time news

IPv6 anycastUses Anycast addressIdentifies a set of nodesPacket will reach only one out of many (usually, topologically closest one)Anycast address can be assigned to routers only Anycast address cannot be used as a source

IPv6 special addressesFour basic types of "special" IPv6 addressesreserved private loopbackunspecified.Reserved Addresses Reserved block is at the “top” of the address space:Starting with “0000 0000” Private Addresses Called local-use addresses or link-layer addresses. No NATsSo local-use addresses are intended for communication inherently designed only to be sent to local devices.
