  1. IPv6, ICMP, DNS

  2. IPv4

  3. IPv4 • IPv4 is successful in that the protocol has accommodated changes in hardware technologies, heterogeneous networks, and extremely large scale. • But address space is limited. • IPv4 has no built-in support for new Internet applications. • the interest in collaboration technologies increases

  4. IPv6 • Address size: 128 bits • Extension headers • Support for audio and video • Extensible protocol

  5. IPv6 Datagram Format

  6. IPv6 Base Header

  7. NEXT HEADER

  8. Fragmentation and Path MTU

  9. ICMP as an Error Reporting Mechanism • IP defines a best-effort communication service in which datagrams can be lost, duplicated, or delayed out of order. • However best-effort is not careless.

  10. ICMP • The TCP/IP suite includes ICMP protocol that IP uses to send error message. • Each ICMP message has a type. I.e. 0 Echo reply 3 Destination Unreachable 11 Time exceeded

  11. ICMP Message Transport Messages can be both error messages and informational messages

  12. ICMP cont’d… • Ping application • Traceroute application • Path MTU discovery Make use of ICMP

  13. Naming With the Domain Name System • Symbolic names to define specific computers are required for human understanding • But symbolic names are not convenient for computers

  14. Structure of Computer Names

  15. Domain Names within an Organization

  16. Optimization of DNS Performance • Replicated DNS servers • Caching

  17. References • Comer, D., Computer Networks and Internets 4/e
