2. IPv6 is Internet Protocol version 6
128 bit address ; 2128 = 3.4X1028
Example:
FE38:DCE3:124C:C1A2:BA03:6735:EF1C:683D
Abbreviated form of address
FE80:0023:0000:0000:0000:036E:1250:2B00
→FE80:23:0:0:0:36E:1250:2B00
→FE80:23::36E:1250:2B00
Double colons (::) representation
– RFC5952 recommends that the rightmost set of :0: be
replaced
with :: for consistency
• 2001:db8:0:2f::5 rather than 2001:db8::2f:0:0:0:5
Practice : 2001:0db8:0000:0000:00a0:0000:0000:10bc
4. IPV4 address
running out
Plenty of address
space (Mobile
Phones, Tablet
Computers, Car
Parts, etc. J )
Solution of very
complex hierarchical
addressing
9. Provider A has been allocated an IPv6
block
2001:DB8::/32
• Provider A will delegate /48 blocks to
its customers
• Find the blocks provided to the first 4
customers
15. Runs over a link, not a subnet
Multiple instances per link
Topology not IPv6 specific
1.Router ID
2. Link ID
Standard authentication mechanisms
Uses link local addresses
Generalized flooding scop
Two new LSA types
