    Ipv4 vs. Ipv6: Anne-Marie Ethier Andrei Iotici

    Uploaded by

    IPv6 was developed to replace IPv4 due to the shortage of available IPv4 addresses caused by the proliferation of Internet devices. IPv6 features a 128-bit address space allowing for many more addressable devices compared to IPv4's 32-bit addresses. It also includes improvements like increased security, autoconfiguration, and mobility support. The transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is difficult but approaches like dual stacking and tunneling allow IPv6 to be used over existing IPv4 infrastructure.

    Presentation Plan
    Introduction
    Major Advantages to IPv6
    Addresses
    Packet Headers
    Autoconfiguration
    Neighbor Discovery
    Security
    Difficult transition
    Introduction
    What is IP?
     The Internet Protocol (IP) is the method or
    protocol by which data is sent from one computer
    to another on the Internet.
    History
     In 1978, the Office of the Secretary of Defense
    (OSD) mandated the use of IPv4 for all “host-to-
    host” data exchange enabling IPv4 to become the
    mechanism for the military to create integrated
    versus stovepiped communications.
    IP Address Shortage
    Proliferation of Internet devices:
     405M mobile phones sold in 2000
     1B+ by 2005

    New emerging populations:


     China, Korea, Japan, India, Russia
    Solution = IPv6
    Advantages to IPv6
    Larger address space
    Reduce end-to-end delay
    Higher level of security
    Mobility
    No fragmentation
    Network autoconfiguration
    Address Formats
    IPv4 IPv6
     32-bit  128 bits

    Ex: 192.156.136.22 Ex:


    1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A

    Or in compressed format:
    1080::8:800:200C:417A
    IPv4 Classes

    0 1 8 16 24 31
    A 0 netid hostid

    B 1 0 netid hostid

    1 1 0 netid hostid
    C
    IPv6 Address Types
    Unicast
     Global aggregatable
     Site local G lo b a l S i te - lo c a l L in k - lo c a l

     Link local
     IPv4 compatible

    Anycast
    Multicast
    No more broadcast!
    Unicast Addresses
    An address for a single interface
     Global:
    3 13 32 16 64

    001 TLA ID NLA ID SLA ID Interface ID

    TLA : Top-level aggregation


    NLA : Next-level aggregation
    SLA : Site-level aggregation

    The interface ID is based on the MAC address.


    Anycast
    An address for a set of interfaces that
    typically belong to different nodes.

    96 bits 32 bits

    0 Ipv4 address

    0.0.0.0.0.0.192.168.30.1
    = ::192.168.30.1
    = ::C0AB:1E01 ---???
    Multicast
    An address for a set of interfaces (in a
    given scope) that typically belong to
    different nodes.
    IPv4 Packet Header
    The basic IPv4 packet header has 12
    fields with a total size of 20 octets (160
    bits).
    IPv6 Packet Header
    The basic IPv6 packet header has
    8 fields with a total size of 40 octets
    (320 bits).
    Neighbor Discovery
    Replaces ARP, ICMP, etc.
    Used for
     Router discovery
     Parameter/Prefix discovery
     Address resolution
     Address auto-configuration
    Can provide the means to renumber home
    subnets by forwarding solicitations to other
    subnets.
    Autoconfiguration
    Used by Neighbour Discovery
    IPv6 no longer needs:
     ARP
     RARP

     DHCP

     BOOTP

    Stateless vs. Stateful


    Security
    Authentication Header (AH)
     IPv6 datagrams not encrypted
     Keyed MD5 hashing algorithm proposed for standard
    authentication algorithm
     Eliminates IP spoofing
     Eliminates Host Masquarading

    Encapsulating Security Payload Header (ESP)


     Provides data integrity and confidentiality
     DES CBC encryption algorithm as standard (2 Modes)
     Tunnel Mode: Whole IP packet encrypted (including header)
     Transport Mode: Only payload encrypted
    Difficult Transition
    Some have already begun
    experimenting with IPv6 on the internet
    Dual IP layer
    IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling

    Questions
    Q1- What is the main reason for the switch from IPv4 to IPv6?
    A1- IP address shortage
    Q2 - Name 2 IPv6 address types and describe the reasons why
    they are used.
    A2 – Unicast: An address for a single interface.
    Anycast: An address for a set of interfaces that typically
    belong to different nodes. Assigning a unicast address to more
    than one interface makes a unicast address an anycast address
    Multicast: An IPv6 multicast address is an identifier for a
    set of interfaces that typically belong to different nodes. A
    packet sent to a multicast address is delivered to all interfaces
    identified by the multicast address.
    Questions(next)
    Q3 - Identify 2 differences between the IPv4 and IPv6
    packet headers.
    A3 – IPv6 IPv4
    - 320 bits -160 bits
    - 8 fields - 12 fields
    - Flow Label - Checksum
    Q4 - Explain the concept of "tunneling”
    A4 - IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling offers the possibility to
    encapsulate IPv6 packets within IPv4 headers in
    order to carry them over IPv4 routing infrastructures.
    Questions(next)
    Q5 - Name the two main aspects in Internet security
    and explain how their uses in IPv6.
    A5 - Authentication Header (AH): only provides
    authentication of the data packet and not encryption.
    This is useful as a standalone when confidentiality is
    not essential and only authentication is important.
    Encapsulating Security Payload Header (ESP):
    provides data encryption.
