Study Notes
IPv6 Address
- IPv6 is the latest version of the Internet Protocol (IP), designed to replace IPv4 due to its limited address space.
- IPv6 addresses are 128-bit long, offering vastly more addresses (approximately 340 trillion) than IPv4's 32-bit addresses (approximately 4.3 billion).
- IPv6 addresses are represented in hexadecimal notation, with 8 groups of 4 hexadecimal digits separated by colons (:). Example: 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:ff00:0042:8329.
- IPv6 addresses can be abbreviated using rules:
- Removing leading zeros in groups (e.g., 0042 becomes 42)
- Omitting consecutive groups of zeros, using a double colon (::) once per address (e.g., 2001:db8:0:0:0:ff00:42:8329 becomes 2001:db8::ff00:42:8329).
- The loopback address can be abbreviated to ::1.
- IPv6 eliminates the need for Network Address Translation (NAT), and the IP security protocol suite (IPSec) is built-in for enhanced security.
IPv6 Address Classification
- IPv6 addresses are classified as unicast, anycast, and multicast.
- Unicast addresses identify a single network interface.
- Anycast addresses are assigned to a group of interfaces (typically on different nodes), with packets delivered to the nearest interface.
- Multicast addresses identify a group of interfaces, typically used for communication with a group of hosts.
IPv6 Address Types
- IPv6 addresses typically have two logical parts: a 64-bit network prefix (for routing) and a 64-bit interface identifier.
- Network prefix has a variable length that is part of the address. Network admins can control the subnet IDs that are smaller.
- General unicast address format varies in router prefix length and subnet IDs length.
- Different methods exist for assigning IPv6 addresses to a system:
- Static Method: Addresses are assigned manually.
- Auto configuration: System locates the router then automatically generates the addresses using NDP protocols.
- EUI-64 Method: System uses the 48-bit MAC address to generate a 64-bit interface identifier. (The first 24 bits of a MAC address are OUI-Organizational Unique Identifier, followed by a 24-bit unique ID).
IPv6 Networks
- IPv6 networks use an address block that is a power of 2. This block identifies hosts in a network.
- Address blocks are written using CIDR notation, consisting of the network's starting address, a "/," and the network prefix length in bits.
- Example: 2001:db8:1234::/48, starting at 2001:db8:1234:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000. The prefix length of 48 bits starts at 2001:db8:1234:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 and ends at 2001:db8:1234:ffffffffffffffffffff.
Special Addresses
- Unique Local Addresses (ULAs): Used for local communication within a group of cooperating sites.
- Global Unicast addresses: For communication over the global internet or general access.
- Link-local addresses (LLAs): Required on every IPv6-enabled interface and used for communication on a local network.
- Multicast addresses: Used for communication with multiple destination hosts at the same time. Typically used by video conference, real-time applications, and routing protocols.
- Loopback address (::1): Used for communication within the same host.
- Default route (::/0): Assigned to the main internet route.
IPv6 Migration Methods
- Dual Stack: Implementing both IPv4 and IPv6 on the same devices.
- Tunneling: Encapsulating IPv6 packets within IPv4 packets for transmission over IPv4 networks.
- Translation: Converting IPv4 addresses to IPv6 addresses or vice versa on a network device.
