Internet Protocol version 6 Overview

2005

IP stands for “Internet Protocol” and it was designed during the ‘70s with the purpose of interconnecting heterogeneous network technologies. IP was a huge success, and made it possible to create today’s Internet. Currently, the Internet is predominantly using the fourth version of IP (IPv4), however the huge success of the Internet is pushing IPv4 to its limits. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) designed IPv6 to become the replacement for IPv4. IPv6 solves most of the major problems of IPv4 and has several new features. This paper presents an overview of the IPv6 protocol, discussing its operation, its addressing architecture, its header format, the neighbor discovery protocol and one of the major issues of IPv6: how to transition from IPv4; presenting a set of transition mechanisms that provide communication between IPv4 and IPv6.

Internet protocol version 6 (student paper)

Journal of Computing Sciences in Colleges, 2001

Many students, educators, and other professionals are increasingly finding that they need to become familiar with networking protocols. While the technical details are more complex than most professionals need, an understanding of the basic uses, features, terminology, and configurations is essential for any technical decision-maker or computer professional. Because of the Internet's dominance, computer professionals need to be, at least, familiar with its basic functionality. Currently, Internet Protocol version 4, IPv4, is the standard for Internet communications. However, with the tremendous expansion of the Internet, IPv4 is proving to be incapable of handling the coming demand. A new standard will be accepted to allow the Internet to continue to grow in size as well as function. Internet Protocol version 6, or IPv6, is the next currently proposed standard for Internet communications. While the basic function of IPv6 is similar to IPv4, IPv6 is drastically different in form. Differences fall into the categories of addressing, security, and configuration. Already, many large organizations, including Microsoft and Cisco, are developing and testing the new protocol. Beta software that allows construction of IPv6 networks has also been released to the general public. Because of the significant enhancements IPv6 provides and the shortage of IPv4 addresses, many organizations have begun implementing Internet Protocol version 6. The

A Survey on Next Generation Internet Protocol: IPv6

International Journal of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, 2014

IPv4 is the most dominant addressing protocol used on the Internet and most private networks today. With the advent of wide variety of devices and upcoming technologies, the limited addresses of IPv4 are not able to cope with the current internet. IPv6 was mainly developed to resolve the addressing issues as well the security concerns which are lacked by IPv4. One of the major challenges in the internet is to deploy IPv6. In the transition to IPv6, both IPv6 and IPv4 will co-exist until IPv6 eventually replaces IPv4. In this paper an attempt is being made to enlighten the importance of IPv6 in current scenario and the key reasons to deploy the IPV6, and also discusses the standards and techniques which are required for smooth interoperation between the two protocols.

The next generation of the Internet: aspects of the Internet protocol version 6

IEEE Network, 1998

This article presents an overview of several key improvements offered by the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) over current Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). The topics covered include IPv6 addressing and routing concepts, changes to the minimum IPv6 packet size, flows, and traffic classes, the neighbor discovery and node autoconfiguration mechanisms, and an overview of mobile IPv6 and the network security architecture. Transition mechanisms, such as dual stacks and the 6bone, are also discussed. The 6bone is a virtual network that is used to help test and facilitate the development of IPv6. Key conce ts associated with the 6bone, such as setup requirements, IPv6 DNS support, anltunnel mechanics, are also presented 28

A Comparative Review Of Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6

Many computers and devices are becoming more connected to the internet in recent years; the use of the Internet Protocol (IP) has made the connectivity and identification of these devices possible in large scale. In this paper, we will discuss the evolution of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), its features, issues and limitations and how Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) tends to solve some of these issues including the differences and transition between these two protocols.

The Next Generation Internet protocol

Informatica., 2002

This paper describes and analyzes the key issues underlying the design of the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). The paper highlights gains made by the new design and analyzes possible weaknesses as well. This gives an overview of the features which will be available in IPv6, why they arc included, and how they wiII be implemented. ft discusses certain significant algorithms which wilI form part of the new design. Differences between IPv6 and the existing p;rotocol, IPv4, have been pointed out wherever a new feature has been introduced or an old one changed. The main focus of the paper is the provisions that the desr'gners of IPv6 sought to ma)<e, which were not covered by IPv4. For this reason, issues like security, autoconfiguration and real-time communication have been dealt with in detail Additionally, the address architecture of the new protocol has been explained, and changes in the formats and headers have also been drscussed. Data fieLds have been described, where appropriate, to give a clearer picture of how messages will be structured under the new protocol.

AN EMPIRICAL STUDY ON INTERNET PROTOCOL IPV6 IN NETWORKING

The internet protocol IPv4 has met requires for years, but the number of addresses, while huge is finite. It has several shortcomings which are unavoidable and complicate such exhausted address space, security issues, non-availability of auto-configuration and in some cases present a obstacle to, the advance improvement of the Internet. The resolution to mitigate this problem was the development of the new IPv6 protocol which enlarges the address space from 32-bits to 128-bits. IPv6 assembles a high address space, superior address design and better safety among other profits. IPv6 distribution necessitates deep and careful firm to minimize network disruption and ensure that the profits of IPv6 are accessed. Due to the issues of IPv4, now-a-days IPv6 is extremely popular in associations, corporations and Internet Service Providers (ISP). In this paper, we aim to provide a Literature Survey which describes the various techniques to implement IPv6 transition most optimal method to increase the network performances.

A STUDY ON IPv4 and IPv6: THE IMPORTANCE OF THEIR CO-EXISTENCE

International Journal of Information Systems and Engineering

This paper aims at evaluating, compare and report result based on the performance of two protocol stacks (IPv4 and IPv6) in terms of various parameters that is analyzed when the data is being transmitted from one client to another or to a server over a wired network on IPv4 in comparison with the IPv6, thus proposing a system that supports the coexistence of both IPv4 and IPv6. The issue of the new-generation numbering system of the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is addressed as exhaustion of address space of the numbering system of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) becomes a problem. An explained study is performed on the IPv6 addressing architecture and yet the almighty goals are still not met. IPv4/IPv6 transition unfolds a lot of problems relating to the internet world. This paper proposes some transition mechanisms involving Dual Stack and Tunneling transition techniques. An explained study is performed on the addressing architecture. However these techniques prove to be most efficient in the study which has been performed. This paper targets at a comparative study on the throughputs in bits/ seconds, packet throughputs, delay in networks, response time in seconds of both IPv4 and IPv6. Hence, since the system proposes for coexistence of both IPv4 and IPv6, the solution projected in this paper is "DUAL STACK where you can and TUNNEL where you have to".

Internet Protocol Version 6: Dead or Alive?

2018

Internet Protocol (IP) is the narrow waist of multilayered Internet protocol stack which defines the rules for data sent across networks. IPv4 is the fourth version of IP and first commercially available for deployment set by ARPANET in 1983 which is a 32 bit long address and can support up to 232 devices. In April 2017, all Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) confirmed that IPv4 addresses are exhausted and cannot be allocated anymore implying any new organization requesting a block of Internet addresses will be allocated IPv6. This creates troubles of interoperability, migration and deployment, and therefore organizations hesitated to use IPv6 borrowing IPv4 addresses from other big organizations instead. Currently, when IPv4 is not available, and IPv6 is not adopted for around 20 years, the question arises whether IPv6 will still be accepted by the computer society or will it have an end of life soon with alternate better protocol such as ID based networks taking its place.
