    Study Notes

    IPv6 Addressing

    • IPv6 was developed to provide a larger address space than IPv4.
    • IPv6 addresses have 128 bits.
    • The preferred format for writing IPv6 addresses is x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x using hexadecimal notation.
    • A "hextet" is a group of 16 bits.
    • Leading zeros in IPv6 addresses can be omitted.

    ICMP

    • ICMP's primary purpose is to provide feedback on IP packet processing issues.
    • ICMP uses messages to communicate issues like network reachability.
    • "Host Unreachable" is an ICMP error code (code 1 in ICMPv4).
    • The traceroute utility relies on ICMP Time Exceeded messages to determine round-trip times for each hop in a network path.
    • ICMPv6 uses a Hop Limit as a counter and this message appears when the TTL has reached zero
    • ICMPv6's Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) includes messages like Router Solicitation (RS) and Router Advertisement (RA).
    • ICMPv6 includes messages like Neighbor Solicitation (NS) used for address resolution.
