  36. Transitioning To IPv6: The Reality (cont.) • Availability • What’s next? • Department of Defense (DoD) has committed to deploying IPv6 by 2008 Guide to TCP/IP, Second Edition

  37. Chapter Summary • Adopting the new version of the Internet Protocol, IPv6, would solve the IP address shortage, because IPv6 supports more than 1027 times the number of addresses that IPv4 currently supports • It also reserves a portion of its address space for use as a globally unique interface identifier, to make it easy to accommodate self-configuring devices and mobile users Guide to TCP/IP, Second Edition

  38. Chapter Summary (cont.) • For backward compatibility, IPv6 defines two mechanisms (IPv4-compatible and IPv4-mapped addresses) whereby IPv4 addresses can work in or interoperate withIPv6 addresses without substantial alteration • IPv6 also does away with broadcasting by requiring nodes to subscribe to multicasts and using anycast addresses to reach servers or devices that play special networking roles (like routers), thereby eliminating potential waste of bandwidth and routing resources Guide to TCP/IP, Second Edition

  39. Chapter Summary (cont.) • Above and beyond vastly increased address space, IPv6 also supports great improvements to communications security, auto-configuration, Quality of Service handling, routing efficiency, and mobile use • IPv6 builds on lessons learned in IPv4 to streamline headers, allocate and aggregate addresses, and generally improve routing behavior • Thus, even though the IPv6 address space is enormously larger than the IPv4 address space, most experts believe it will enjoy faster routing behavior (and therefore, better perceived performance) than current IPv4 environments can deliver Guide to TCP/IP, Second Edition

  40. Chapter Summary (cont.) • IPv6 introduces a Neighbor Discovery protocol that helps support stateless autoconfiguration and provides improved support for mobile users • The basic IPv6 packet format has been redesigned to streamline processing time en route to and at its intended destination(s) • It uses a constant length header and requires options to break on 64-bit boundaries, and various extension headers to speed packet parsing and handling by requiring senders to discover the lowest MTU value (called the Path MTU) for all transmissions, IPv6 also does away with requirements for routers to fragment packets Guide to TCP/IP, Second Edition

  41. Chapter Summary (cont.) • Through vastly improved autoconfiguration support for both stateful (like DHCPv6) and stateless methods (available to all requesters on demand), IPv6 makes it easier to renumber networks than with IPv4 • When network numbering schemes match actual network topologies, routing becomes more efficient • Improved autoconfiguration also permits enhanced mobile access to the Internet as well and enables easy, routine reconfiguration of networks as needed Guide to TCP/IP, Second Edition

  42. Chapter Summary (cont.) • IPv6 embeds a robust, built-in security in its required core implementation • This is a great improvement over IPv4, where security features were added to correct initial design decisions that reflected an overly optimistic security posture • IPv6 effectively addresses most known security issues in IPv4 by making IP Security (IPSec) mandatory (it’s an optional add-on to IPv4) • Secure mechanisms for access control, integrity mechanisms, data origin authentication, replay protection, and confidentiality are therefore integral to IPv6 itself Guide to TCP/IP, Second Edition

  43. Chapter Summary (cont.) • Mobile IPv6 is the technology whereby IPv6 enables mobile users to operate even though they may move from one location to another • It addresses key housekeeping details necessary to make user identity mobile and to keep users accessible to the network at the same time Guide to TCP/IP, Second Edition

  44. Chapter Summary (cont.) • IPv6 incorporates incremental updates to most core IP protocols, including both IP and TCP • At the same time, IPv6 remains broadly compatible with IPv4, so that the two can coexist effectively and efficiently for many years • IPv6 has been designed to permit IPv4 addresses and packets to work within its framework, but also to permit IPv6 traffic to flow through IPv6 networks Guide to TCP/IP, Second Edition

  45. Chapter Summary (cont.) • The desire for globally routable addresses (not private or NAT addresses) and the need for new functionality, particularly to keep mobile users in touch with one another and with network and information resources, are the two primary forces that will drive migration to IPv6 over time • Obstacles to the widespread deployment of IPv6 include IPv4/IPv6 interoperability, availability of IPv6 addresses, complexity of migration, widespread demand for IPv6 advanced features and capabilities, and support from upper management Guide to TCP/IP, Second Edition
