Why IP Address is Used..?? Your IP address is like your home address, you need a home address to receive communication from other sources. An Ip address is pretty much the same, is the address # of your computer and is needed to receive communication between your computer and the WEB.
Ques..What is IP ADDRESS..? >> IP stands for INTERNET PROTOCOL.. >> IP Adress is UNIQUE bit series of number assigned to any Computer on IP based Network.. >> 2 Computer on same Network cannot share same IP Address >> Every web site on the internet is found not by its domain name but by its IP address.
Review - IP v 4 • >>IP v4 is 32 Bit Address.. • >> which is segmented into four 8-bit octets. • >>Each segment can range from 0 to 255
Fields of the IP Header • Version (4 bits): current version is 4, next version will be 6. • Header length (4 bits): length of IP header. • DS/ECN field (1 byte) • This field was previously called as Type-of-Service (TOS) field. The role of this field has been re-defined, but is “backwards compatible” to TOS interpretation • Differentiated Service (DS) (6 bits): • Used to specify service level • Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) (2 bits): • New feedback mechanism used by TCP
Fields of the IP Header • Identification (16 bits): Unique identification of a datagram from a host. Incremented whenever a datagram is transmitted • Flags (3 bits): • First bit always set to 0 • DF bit (Do not fragment) • MF bit (More fragments)
Fields of the IP Header • Time To Live (TTL) (1 byte): • Specifies longest paths before datagram is dropped • Role of TTL field: Ensure that packet is eventually dropped when a routing loop occurs Used as follows: • Sender sets the value (e.g., 64) • Each router decrements the value by 1 • When the value reaches 0, the datagram is dropped
Fields of the IP Header • Protocol (1 byte): • Specifies the higher-layer protocol. • Used for demultiplexing to higher layers. • Header checksum (2 bytes): A simple 16-bit long checksum which is computed for the header of the datagram.
Fields of the IP Header • Options: • Security restrictions • Record Route: each router that processes the packet adds its IP address to the header. • Timestamp: each router that processes the packet adds its IP address and time to the header. • (loose) Source Routing: specifies a list of routers that must be traversed. • (strict) Source Routing: specifies a list of the only routers that can be traversed. • Payload: Data is to be transmitted in datagram
Internet Protocol Version 6.. >> IPv6 also called Internet Protocol Next Generation (Ipng) >>IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses >> New address space supports 2128 (approximately 340 undecillion or 3.4×1038 ) addresses Why IP v6 ..? >> The main problem of IPv4, that is, the exhaustion of addresses to connect computers or host in a packet-switched network.. >> IPv6 has a very large address space and consists of 128 bits as compared to 32 bits in IPv4.
s g g d s g a a s a Types of addresses • unicast • communicate specified 1 computer • multicast • communicate group of computers • anycast • send group address that can receive multiple computers, but receive 1 computer unicast multicast anycast
Benefits of IPv6 >> Improved efficiency in routing and packet handling >> Support for autoconfiguration and plug and play >> Support for embedded IPSec >> Enhanced support for Mobile IP and mobile computing devices >> Elimination of the need for network address translation (NAT) >> Support for widely deployed routing protocols. >> Increased number of multicast addresses, and improved support for multicast.
IPv6 Header Fields • VERS: 6 (IP version number) • Priority: will be used in congestion control • Flow Label: experimental - sender can label a sequence of packets as being in the same flow. • Payload Length: number of bytes in everything following the 40 byte header, or 0 for a Jumbogram.
IPv6 Header Fields • Next Header is similar to the IPv4 “protocol” field - indicates what type of header follows the IPv6 header. • Hop Limit is similar to the IPv4 TTL field (but now it really means hops, not time).
* Transition Technologies.. -ISATAP -6 to 4 -Teredo
ISATAP • Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol • Used in a Private Network only • Uses the ADDRESS FE80::0:5EFE:ww.xx:yy.zz -ww.xx.yy.zz is the IPv4 address • e.g. FE80::5EFE:10.0:30.120 -> FE80::5EFE:0A00:1E78
6 to 4 • Transition Protocol • Allows IPv4 networks to Tunnel IPv6 traffic • 2002:wwxx.yyzz:SubnetID:InterfaceID • Allows IPv6 clients to connect to IPv4 • -IPv4 can not connect to IPv6
Teredo • * Used when you have an IPv4 NAT device
Some Important terms..>> DNS -- Domain Name System (Service) -- Internet system to translate names into IP ADDRESS>> DHCP -- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol-- A Protocol for assigning DYNAMIC IP ADDRESSES to devices on a Network..>> STATIC IP ADDRESS-- Permanent IP address that is assigned to a computer by an Internet service provider (ISP).. >> DYNAMIC IP ADDRESS -- IP ADDRESS assigned by DHCP Server..
>> SUBNET MASK -- A subnet mask separates the IP address into the network and host addresses (<network><host>). . --Subnetting further divides the host part of an IP address into a subnet and host address (<network><subnet><host>).. --It is called a subnet mask because it is used to identify network address of an IP address..
>> MAC ADDRESS (Physical Address) - Stands For Media Access Control Address - A hardware that uniquely identifies each Node of a Network.. OR (MAC ADDRESS is a physical hardware address assigned to each device that has the capability of connecting to a network.. ) - Local Destination Address of the Physical Layer
- MAC addresses are 12-digit hexadecimal numbers (48 bits in length).MAC address Format : MM-MM-MM-SS-SS-SS - First half >> contains the ID number of the adapter manufacturer. - Second half >> represents the serial number assigned to the adapter by the manufacturer. In the example, 00:A0:C9:14:C8:29The prefix 00A0C9 indicates the manufacturer is Intel Corporation.
