Address
• 128-bit long. 4x larger that IPv4
• 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 addresses
• Standard completed in 1996
• 9 of the 13 root servers have IPv6 root glue
Computers that are IPv6 capable
• Mac OS- 2.44%
• Linux - 0.93%
• Vista - 0.32%
• XP - 0.03%
Backwards compatibility
• In order to aid the transition from IPv4 to IPv6, current IPv4 address are being embedded into IPv6 address in a way that allows them to be recognized as IPv4 addresses by IPv6 devices.
IPv4-compatible IPv6 address
• Two types of addressing schemes to accommodate IPv4– All zeros until the last 32 bits for devices
capable of both IPv4 & IPv6 aka IPv6 aware
IPv4-Mapped IPv6 Addresses
• First 80 bits are zeros followed by 16 ones (FFFF) means that the devices whose IP address has been mapped is incapable of IPv6
Reserved Addresses• 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1• Anycast
• Link-Local
• Multicast
Interface ID
• Takes the MAC address and splits into 3-byte half's and between them insets ‘FFFE’ and flipping the 7th bit of the first byte to a binary 1 in order to fulfill the 64-bit interface.
What’s New…
• Neighbor Discovery (ND) Protocol – Link-layer addresses
• Hop Limit
• Jumbogram– 4.294967295 GB
• Stateless address autoconfiguration – Uses ICMPv6 discovery Message– Or stateful configuration using DHCPv6
Neighbor Discovery
• To determine neighbors known to reside on attached links and purge invalid values
• Also aids in finding routers
• Keep tables of reachable/unreachable neighbors and to determine any changed link-layer addresses
• Actively searches for alternatives if failure occurs
