    Study Notes

    IPv6 Migration

    • IPv4 and IPv6 are not compatible, and a transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is necessary.
    • Three methods are used to migrate from IPv4 to IPv6: Dual Stack, Tunneling, and Translation.

    Dual Stack Method

    • Allows IPv4 and IPv6 to coexist in the same device and network.
    • Devices like PCs, switches, routers, and ADSL modems are configured with both IPv4 and IPv6 drivers.
    • Enables gradual transition from IPv4 to IPv6.

    Tunneling

    • Allows IPv6 hosts to communicate over IPv4 infrastructure.
    • Encapsulates IPv6 traffic within IPv4 packets.
    • Enables isolated IPv6 end systems and routers to communicate without upgrading IPv4 infrastructure.
    • Three tunneling configurations exist: Router-to-Router, Host-to-Router, and Host-to-Host.

    Translation (SIIT and NAT64)

    • Involves configuring devices with IPv6 addresses only, and gateways with SIIT and NAT64 protocols and DNS-64.
    • Enables communication between IPv4-only and IPv6-only end stations.
    • The translator translates IPv6 packets into IPv4 packets by performing address and port translation.

    IPv6 Addressing Scheme

    • 128-bit IPv6 address is represented as 32 hexadecimal numbers arranged in 8 quartets of 4 hexadecimal digits, separated by a colon (:).
    • Not case sensitive for A, B, C, D, E, and F.
    • Omission of zeros is allowed.
    • Leading zero in any quartet can be omitted.
    • Four successive zeros in a quartet can be substituted by one zero.
    • Replacing successive fields of zeros with "::" is allowed.
    • Multiple quartets with zero can be represented as :: but only once in an address.

    IPv6 Features

    • Provides sufficient address space for the near future.
    • Offers enhanced security with built-in IPSec.
    • Has a simpler header than IPv4, which is not protected by a checksum.
    • Does not require NAT since every device has a globally unique IPv6 address.
    • Supports stateless address auto-configuration, allowing IPv6 hosts to automatically configure themselves with an IPv6 address without a DHCP server.

    Private Addressing Scheme

    • Private addresses are used in data networks of Indian Railways.
    • IPv4 private addresses allotted by the Railway Board are 10.0.0.0/8.
    • The 10.0.0.0/8 network address is further subnetted to 10.X.0.0/16 network by the Railway Board and allocated to Zonal Railways, divisions, RDSO, PSUs, and Training Institutes.

    Private IP Addresses

    • Are free and do not require permission for use.
    • Must be unique within the same local network and cannot be repeated.
    • Cannot communicate in the public domain and are not able to use Internet services.
    • Can be used via NAT at the Intranet gateway level, where private IP addresses are logically hidden and public IP addresses represent the Intranet traffic.

    Internet Service Provider (ISP)

    • Provides Internet access to organizations and home users.
    • Is responsible for making sure users can access the Internet, routing Internet traffic, resolving domain names, and maintaining the network infrastructure.

    IPv6 Migration

    • IPv4 and IPv6 are not compatible, and a transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is necessary.
    • Three methods are used to migrate from IPv4 to IPv6: Dual Stack, Tunneling, and Translation.
