IPv 6

This document provides an overview of IPv6, including: - IPv4 addressing is running out due to its limited 32-bit address space, while internet usage continues growing rapidly. IPv6 was developed to address this by providing a vastly larger 128-bit address space. - IPv6 features a simplified header compared to IPv4 and includes extensions headers to enhance capabilities like routing, security, and mobility. - IPv6 supports stateless autoconfiguration allowing network interfaces to automatically generate unique IP addresses without requiring input from a DHCP server. - Techniques like subnetting, CIDR, and NAT were used to extend the life of IPv4 but IPv6 aims to resolve addressing limits and improve features natively

Introduction to IPv6

Presented by: Minal Mishra


Agenda
 IP Network Addressing
 Classful IP addressing
 Techniques to reduce address
shortage in IPv4
 Features of IPv6
 Header Comparisons
 Extension Headers
 Conclusions
IP Network Addressing
 INTERNET  world’s largest public
data network, doubling in size every nine
months
 IPv4, defines a 32-bit address - 232
(4,294,967,296) IPv4 addresses available
 The first problem is concerned with the
eventual depletion of the IP address
space.
 Traditional model of classful addressing
does not allow the address space to be
used to its maximum potential.
Classful Addressing
 When IP was first standardized in Sep
1981, each system attached to the IP
based Internet had to be assigned a
unique 32-bit address
 The 32-bit IP addressing scheme involves
a two level addressing hierarchy

Network Number/Prefix Host Number


Classful Addressing…
 Divided into 5
classes
 Class A 8 bits N/W
id and 24 bits host
id and so on B,C.
 Wastage of IP
addresses by
assigning blocks
of addresses
which fall along
octet boundaries
Techniques to reduce
address shortage in IPv4

 Subnetting
 Classless Inter Domain Routing
(CIDR)
 Network Address Translation (NAT)
Subnetting
 Three-level hierarchy: network, subnet,
and host.
 The extended-network-prefix is
composed of the classful network-prefix
and the subnet-number
 The extended-network-prefix has
traditionally been identified by the
subnet mask

Network-Prefix Subnet-Number Host-Number


Subnetting Example
128.10.1.1
H1 128.10.1.2
H2

Sub-network 128.10.1.0

Internet G
All traffic
to 128.10.0.0
128.10.2.1
H3 128.10.2.2
H4
Net mask 255.255.0.0

Sub-network 128.10.2.0

Subnet mask 255.255.255.0


Classless Inter-Domain
Routing
 Eliminates traditional classful IP
routing.
 Supports the deployment of
arbitrarily sized networks
 Routing information is advertised
with a bit mask/prefix length
specifies the number of leftmost contiguous bits
in the network portion of each routing table entry
 Example: 192.168.0.0/21
CIDR Table Entry…
 Extract the destination IP address.
 Boolean AND the IP address with the
subnet mask for each entry in the
routing table.
 The answer you get after ANDing is
checked with the base address entry
corresponding to the subnet mask
entry with which the destination entry
was Boolean ANDed.
 If a match is obtained the packet is
forwarded to the router with the
corresponding base address
Network Address
Translation
 Each
organization-
single IP address 3 Reserved ranges
 Within 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 (16,777,216 hosts)
organization –
each host with IP 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255/12 (1,048,576
hosts)
unique to the
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255/16 (65,536
orgn., from hosts)

reserved set of IP
addresses
NAT Example
10.0.0.4
C

10.0.0.1

Source Source NAT Router's


Source NAT Router's
Computer's Computer's Assigned
Computer IP Address
IP Address Port Port Number

A 10.0.0.1 400 24.2.249.4 1

B 10.0.0.2 50 24.2.249.4 2

C 10.0.0.3 3750 24.2.249.4 3

D 10.0.0.4 206 24.2.249.4 4


Features of IPv6
 Larger Address Space
 Aggregation-based address hierarchy
– Efficient backbone routing
 Efficient and Extensible IP datagram
 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
 Security (IPsec mandatory)
 Mobility
128-bit IPv6 Address
3FFE:085B:1F1F:0000:0000:0000:00A9:1234

8 groups of 16-bit hexadecimal numbers separated by “:”


Leading zeros can be removed

3FFE:85B:1F1F::A9:1234

:: = all zeros in one or more group of 16-bit hexadecimal numbers


Header comparison
0 15 16 31
vers hlen TOS total length Removed (6)
identification flags flag-offset • ID, flags, flag offset
20 TTL protocol header checksum • TOS, hlen
bytes
source address • header checksum
destination address

options and padding


Changed (3)
• total length => payload
IPv4 • protocol => next header
• TTL => hop limit
vers traffic class flow-label
Added (2)

• traffic class
40
bytes
source address • flow label

destination address
Expanded
• address 32 to 128 bits
IPv6
Major Improvements of
IPv6 Header
 No option field: Replaced by
extension header. Result in a fixed
length, 40-byte IP header.
 No header checksum: Result in fast
processing.
 No fragmentation at intermediate
nodes: Result in fast IP forwarding.
Extension Headers
 Routing – Extended routing, like IPv4
loose list of routers to visit
 Fragmentation – Fragmentation and
reassembly
 Authentication – Integrity and
authentication, security
 Encapsulation – Confidentiality
 Hop-by-Hop Option – Special options that
require hop-by-hop processing
 Destination Options – Optional
information to be examined by the
destination node
Stateless Address
Autoconfiguration
 3 ways to configure network
interfaces: Manually, Stateful,
Stateless
 IPSAA IPv6 addr. Separated into 2 2
parts: network and interface id.
 Link- local addresses: prefix FE80::0
+ interface identifier (EUI-64 format)
 Obtain network id through Router
solicitation (RS)
Conclusion
 IPv6 is NEW …
– built on the experiences learned from IPv4
– new features
– large address space
– new efficient header
– autoconfiguration
 … and OLD
– still IP
– build on a solid base
– started in 1995, a lot of implementations
and tests done
