Introduction - IPv6 Architecture
Overview
What exactly is the Internet Protocol (IP) ?
•  That protocol layer in the TCP/IP protocol stack
responsible for the delivery of data to a target
destination
TCP/IP protocol structure

 HTTP
TCP
IP
IP datagram format
•  Datagrams
–  That part of a packet containing the IP headers and the
data from the higher layers passed to the IP layer
•  IP specifies the header information for the data it
requires for its tasks
–  Information needed for routing and delivery
–  E.g. source and destination IP addresses
•  It has nothing to do with higher layer headers or
data and can transport arbitrary data

Rationale
•  Address depletion concerns
– Squeeze on available addresses space
•  Probably will never run out, but will be harder to
obtain
– End to end connectivity no longer visible
•  Widespread use of NAT

  IPv6 provides much larger IP address space
than IPv4
Main IPv6 benefits
•  Expanded addressing capabilities
•  Server-less autoconfiguration (“plug-n-play”)
and reconfiguration
•  More efficient and robust mobility
mechanisms
•  Built-in, strong IP-layer encryption and
authentication
•  Streamlined header format and flow
identification
•  Improved support for options / extensions
IPv6 Addressing and Subnetting
Size of the IPv6 address space
•  An IPv6 address is 16 octets (128 bits)
•  This would allow every person on the
planet to have their own internet as large
as the current Internet
•  It is difficult to foresee running out of IPv6
addresses
IPv6 addressing
•  128 bits of address space
•  Hexadecimal values of eight 16 bit fields
•  X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X (X=16 bit number, ex: A2FE)
•  16 bit number is converted to a 4 digit hexadecimal number
•  Example:
•  FE38:DCE3:124C:C1A2:BA03:6735:EF1C:683D
–  Abbreviated form of address
•  4EED:0023:0000:0000:0000:036E:1250:2B00
→4EED:23:0:0:0:36E:1250:2B00
→4EED:23::36E:1250:2B00
(Null value can be used only once)

IPv6 network address assignment
IPv6 addressing model
•  IPv6 Address type
–  Unicast
•  An identifier for a single
interface
–  Anycast
•  An identifier for a set of
interfaces
–  Multicast
•  An identifier for a group of
nodes
RFC
4291
Unicast address
•  Address given to interface for communication
between host and router
–  Global unicast address currently delegated by
IANA
–  Local use unicast address
•  Link-local address (starting with FE80::)
•  Site-local address (starting with FEC0::)
001
FP Global routing prefix Subnet ID I nterface ID
3bits 45 bits 16 bits 64 bits
1111111010 000…….0000 Interface ID
10 bits 54 bits 64 bits
1111111011 Subnet-ID Interface ID
10 bits 54 bits 64 bits
Special addresses
•  The unspecified address
– A value of 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 (::)
– It is comparable to 0.0.0.0 in IPv4
•  The loopback address
– It is represented as 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 (::1)
– Similar to 127.0.0.1 in IPv4
Interface ID
•  The lowest-order 64-bit field
addresses may be assigned in
several different ways:
– auto-configured from a 48-bit MAC address
expanded into a 64-bit EUI-64
– assigned via DHCP
– manually configured
– auto-generated pseudo-random number
– possibly other methods in the future

Zone IDs for local-use addresses
•  In Windows XP for example:
•  Host A:
– fe80::2abc:d0ff:fee9:4121%4
•  Host B:
– fe80::3123:e0ff:fe12:3001%3
•  Ping from Host A to Host B
– ping fe80::3123:e0ff:fe12:3001%4 (not %3)
•  identifies the interface zone ID on the host which
is connected to that segment.
IPv6 autoconfiguration
Tentative address (link-local address)
Well-known link local prefix +Interface ID (EUI-64)
Ex: FE80::310:BAFF:FE64:1D
Is this
address
unique?
1.  A new host is turned on.
2.  Tentative address will be assigned to the new host.
3.  Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) is performed. First the host transmit
a Neighbor Solicitation (NS) message to all-nodes multicast address
(FF02::1)
5.  If no Neighbor Advertisement (NA) message comes back then the address is
unique.
6.  FE80::310:BAFF:FE64:1D will be assigned to the new host.
Assign
FE80::310:BAFF:FE64:1D
2001:1234:1:1/64 network
IPv6 autoconfiguration
FE80::310:BAFF:FE64:1D
Send me
Router
Advertisement
1.  The new host will send Router Solicitation (RS) request to the all-routers
multicast group (FE02::2).
2.  The router will reply Routing Advertisement (RA).
3.  The new host will learn the network prefix. E.g, 2001:1234:1:1/64
4.  The new host will assigned a new address Network prefix+Interface ID
E.g, 2001:1234:1:1:310:BAFF:FE64:1D
Router
Advertisement
Assign
2001:1234:1:1:310:BAFF:FE64:1D
2001:1234:1:1/64 network
Exercise
Host configuration
Enabling IPv6 on XP
1.  Log on to the computer with a user account that has
privileges to change the network configuration.
2.  Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click
Network Connections.
3.  Right-click any local area connection, and then click
Properties.
4.  Click Install.
5.  In the Select Network Component Type dialog box, click
Protocol, and then click Add.
6.  In the Select Network Protocol dialog box, click Microsoft
TCP/IP version 6, and then click OK.
7.  Click Close to save changes to your network connection.
•  Alternately, from the Windows XP desktop, click Start, point
to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click
Command Prompt. At the command prompt
–  Type netsh interface ipv6 install

Enabling IPv6 on XP
IPv6 on XP
•  XP is not able to operate in an IPv6-only
environment
– XP supports IPv6 in dual stack operation with
IPv4
– In reality, given the current Internet, an office
network should become an IPv4/IPv6 dual
network, not IPv6-only
http://www.ipv6style.jp/en/20070115/vista_lifehack1.html
Vista and IPv6
•  The IPv6 protocol for Windows Vista and
Windows Server 2008 is installed and
enabled by default.
•  It appears as the Internet Protocol
Version 6 (TCP/IP) component on the
Networking tab when you obtain the
properties of a connection (via “View
Status”)
– Available from the Network and Sharing
Center
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/network/ipv6/ipv6faq.mspx#EBE
Vista and IPv6
Vista interface information
Temporary address
(RFC3041)
to provide a level of
anonymity for
client-initiated
communications
Random interface ID
(not EUI-64)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc137983.aspx
Vista interface information
IPv6 disabled
Q.How do I disable IPv6 in Windows Vista
and Windows Server 2008?
A.Unlike Windows XP and Windows Server
2003, IPv6 in Windows Vista and Windows
Server 2008 cannot be uninstalled.
However, you can disable IPv6 in Windows
Vista and Windows Server 2008 by doing
one of the following:
• In the Network Connections folder, obtain
properties on all of your connections and
adapters and clear the check box next to the
Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
component in the list under This
connection uses the following items.
• This method disables IPv6 on your LAN
interfaces and connections, but does not
disable IPv6 on tunnel interfaces or the IPv6
loopback interface.

  • 21. IPv6 addressing model •  IPv6 Address type –  Unicast •  An identifier for a single interface –  Anycast •  An identifier for a set of interfaces –  Multicast •  An identifier for a group of nodes RFC 4291
  • 22. Unicast address •  Address given to interface for communication between host and router –  Global unicast address currently delegated by IANA –  Local use unicast address •  Link-local address (starting with FE80::) •  Site-local address (starting with FEC0::) 001 FP Global routing prefix Subnet ID I nterface ID 3bits 45 bits 16 bits 64 bits 1111111010 000…….0000 Interface ID 10 bits 54 bits 64 bits 1111111011 Subnet-ID Interface ID 10 bits 54 bits 64 bits
  • 23. Special addresses •  The unspecified address – A value of 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 (::) – It is comparable to 0.0.0.0 in IPv4 •  The loopback address – It is represented as 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 (::1) – Similar to 127.0.0.1 in IPv4
  • 24. Interface ID •  The lowest-order 64-bit field addresses may be assigned in several different ways: – auto-configured from a 48-bit MAC address expanded into a 64-bit EUI-64 – assigned via DHCP – manually configured – auto-generated pseudo-random number – possibly other methods in the future

  • 26. Zone IDs for local-use addresses •  In Windows XP for example: •  Host A: – fe80::2abc:d0ff:fee9:4121%4 •  Host B: – fe80::3123:e0ff:fe12:3001%3 •  Ping from Host A to Host B – ping fe80::3123:e0ff:fe12:3001%4 (not %3) •  identifies the interface zone ID on the host which is connected to that segment.
  • 27. IPv6 autoconfiguration Tentative address (link-local address) Well-known link local prefix +Interface ID (EUI-64) Ex: FE80::310:BAFF:FE64:1D Is this address unique? 1.  A new host is turned on. 2.  Tentative address will be assigned to the new host. 3.  Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) is performed. First the host transmit a Neighbor Solicitation (NS) message to all-nodes multicast address (FF02::1) 5.  If no Neighbor Advertisement (NA) message comes back then the address is unique. 6.  FE80::310:BAFF:FE64:1D will be assigned to the new host. Assign FE80::310:BAFF:FE64:1D 2001:1234:1:1/64 network
  • 28. IPv6 autoconfiguration FE80::310:BAFF:FE64:1D Send me Router Advertisement 1.  The new host will send Router Solicitation (RS) request to the all-routers multicast group (FE02::2). 2.  The router will reply Routing Advertisement (RA). 3.  The new host will learn the network prefix. E.g, 2001:1234:1:1/64 4.  The new host will assigned a new address Network prefix+Interface ID E.g, 2001:1234:1:1:310:BAFF:FE64:1D Router Advertisement Assign 2001:1234:1:1:310:BAFF:FE64:1D 2001:1234:1:1/64 network

At the command prompt –  Type netsh interface ipv6 install http://www.microsoft.com/technet/network/ipv6/ipv6faq.mspx#EBE
  • 32. IPv6 on XP •  XP is not able to operate in an IPv6-only environment – XP supports IPv6 in dual stack operation with IPv4 – In reality, given the current Internet, an office network should become an IPv4/IPv6 dual network, not IPv6-only http://www.ipv6style.jp/en/20070115/vista_lifehack1.html
  • 33. Vista and IPv6 •  The IPv6 protocol for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 is installed and enabled by default. •  It appears as the Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IP) component on the Networking tab when you obtain the properties of a connection (via “View Status”) – Available from the Network and Sharing Center http://www.microsoft.com/technet/network/ipv6/ipv6faq.mspx#EBE

  • 36. Vista interface information IPv6 disabled Q.How do I disable IPv6 in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008? A.Unlike Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, IPv6 in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 cannot be uninstalled. However, you can disable IPv6 in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 by doing one of the following: • In the Network Connections folder, obtain properties on all of your connections and adapters and clear the check box next to the Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6) component in the list under This connection uses the following items. • This method disables IPv6 on your LAN interfaces and connections, but does not disable IPv6 on tunnel interfaces or the IPv6 loopback interface. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/network/ipv6/ipv6faq.mspx
