Unit 9 Assignment: Research Paper (NT 1430.U9.RP)
The current version of the Internet Protocol IPv4 was first developed in the 1970s, and the main protocol standard RFC 791 that governs IPv4 functionality was published in 1981. With the unprecedented expansion of Internet usage in recent years, especially by population dense countries like India and China, the impending shortage of address space (availability) was recognized by 1992 as a serious limiting factor to the continued usage of the Internet run on IPv4 (Das, 2013).
The Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the latest revision of the Internet Protocol (IP). It is a communications protocol that XXXXXXXX an XXXXXXXXXXXXXX and location system XXX XXXXXXXXX XX XXXXXXXX XXX XXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXX the Internet. IPv6 XXX XXXXXXXXX XX XXX XXXXXXXX Engineering Task XXXXX (XXXX) XX deal XXXX the XXXX-anticipated problem of IPv4 address XXXXXXXXXX. XXXX is intended to replace XXXX, which still carries the XXXX XXXXXXXX XX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XX of XXXX. XX XX XXXX XXXXXXXX 2012, IPv6 traffic XXXXX was XXXXXXXX to XX XXXXXXXXXXX X% (XXXXXXXXX, XXXX).
On the XXXXXXXX, XXXX is XXXXXXXXXXX in XXX form of XXXXXXX XXXXXXX. IPv6 specifies a XXX packet format, designed to minimize XXXXXX header processing by XXXXXXX. XXXXXXX the headers of IPv4 XXXXXXX XXX IPv6 XXXXXXX XXX significantly XXXXXXXXX, the XXX protocols are XXX interoperable. XXXXXXX, in XXXX XXXXXXXX, IPv6 is a XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XX XXXX. Most XXXXXXXXX and XXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXX XXXXXXXXX need little or no change XX operate XXXX XXXX. XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX (IPsec) was XXXXXXXXXX developed XXX IPv6, XXX found widespread XXXXXXXXXX first in XXXX, XXX XXXXX it XXX re-XXXXXXXXXX. XXXXX was a mandatory XXXXXXXXXXXXX XX the base IPv6 protocol XXXXX, but has XXXXX been XXXX XXXXXXXX (Wikipedia, 2013).
Multicasting XX XXX transmission of a packet to XXXXXXXX destinations in a XXXXXX send operation, it XX part of XXX XXXX specification in IPv6. XX IPv4 this XX an optional XXXXXXXX commonly XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX. IPv6 multicast addressing shares XXXXXX features and XXXXXXXXX with XXXX XXXXXXXXX, but XXXX provides XXXXXXX XXX improvements by eliminating XXX need XXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX. IPv6 also provides XXX new XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX rendezvous XXXXX XXXXXXXXX in an IPv6 multicast group address, XXXXX simplifies XXX XXXXXXXXXX of inter-domain solutions (XXXXXXX Working Group, XXXX).
In XXXX, the packet XXXXXX XXX the XXXXXXX XX packet XXXXXXXXXX have been simplified. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX headers are at XXXXX XXXXX the size of XXXX XXXXXX headers, XXXXXX processing XX XXXXXXX XX XXXXXXXXX XXXX efficient, XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX the end-XX-XXX principle XX Internet XXXXXX. Unlike XXXXXX IPv4, mobile IPv6 XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX and XX therefore XX efficient XX native IPv6. IPv6 routers XXX also XXXXX entire XXXXXXX to move to a XXX router XXXXXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX (Network Working XXXXX , 2013).
IPv4 XXXXXX packets to 65,XXX (XXX-X) octets of payload. An XXXX node can optionally XXXXXX XXXXXXX over this limit, XXXXXXXX XX as jumbograms, which can be XX large XX 4,XXX,967,XXX (XXX−X) octets. XXX use of jumbograms may improve performance over high-MTU links. The XXX of XXXXXXXXXX XX indicated by the XXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXX header (Network XXXXXXX XXXXX, 2013).
XXXX XXXX, XXXX supports globally unique XX XXXXXXXXX by which the network activity XX XXXX XXXXXX XXX potentially be XXXXXXX. The design of XXXX XXXXXXXX to re-emphasize XXX XXX-to-end XXXXXXXXX XX network design XXXX was originally XXXXXXXXX XXXXXX the establishment XX XXX XXXXX XXXXXXXX. In XXXX approach XXXX device XX the XXXXXXX has a unique XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX directly XXXX XXX XXXXX XXXXXXXX XX XXX XXXXXXXX. In the XXXXXX to XXXXXXXX XXXXXXX space, network address translation (NAT) confuses network address XXXXXX, XXXXX, and XXXXXXXXXX in XXXX (XXXXXXXXX, XXXX).
The XXX bits XX an IPv6 address are represented in X groups XX XX XXXX each. Each group XX XXXXXXX as 4 hexadecimal digits XXX XXX XXXXXX are separated by XXXXXX (:). The XXXXXXX 2001:0db8:XXXX:XXXX:0000:ff00:XXXX:XXXX XX an example XX this representation. XXX convenience, an XXXX XXXXXXX XXX XX XXXXXXXXXXX XX shorter notations XX XXXXXXXXXXX of XXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXX, where possible.
X. XXX or XXXX XXXXXXX zeroes XXXX any XXXXXX of XXXXXXXXXXX digits XXX XXXXXXX; this is XXXXXXX XXXX XX XXXXXX all or XXXX XX the XXXXXXX XXXXXX. For example, the group 0042 is XXXXXXXXX XX 42.
2. Consecutive XXXXXXXX XX XXXXXX XXX replaced XXXX a XXXXXX XXXXX (::). The double colon may only XX used once in an address, XX XXXXXXXX uses XXXXX render XXX address indeterminate. XXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXX a double XXXXX XXXXXX not XX XXXX to XXXXXX an XXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXX of XXXXXX.
XX example of XXXXXXXXXXX of these XXXXX:
XXXXXXX XXXXXXX: XXXX:0db8:XXXX:0000:0000:ff00:XXXX:8329
XXXXX removing all XXXXXXX XXXXXX: XXXX:XXX:X:0:0:ff00:XX:XXXX
XXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX sections of zeroes: 2001:db8::XXXX:XX:XXXX
As an IPv6 address may XXXX more than XXX representation, XXX IETF has XXXXXX a proposed standard for XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX in text (XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX Task XXXXX (XXXX), XXXX).
The DHCP package XXXXXXXX an Internet XXXXXXX Consortium (ISC) XXXX server. First, XXXXXXX the package XX the superuser:
~] # yum install XXXX
Installing XXX XXXX XXXXXXX creates a XXXX, /XXX/XXXX/XXXXX.conf, which is XXXXXX an empty configuration XXXX:
~]# cat /XXX/dhcp/dhcpd.XXXX
#
# DHCP Server XXXXXXXXXXXXX file.
# XXX /XXX/share/XXX/XXXX*/dhcpd.XXXX.XXXXXX
The XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX file can XX XXXXX XX /XXX/XXXXX/XXX/dhcp<version&XX;/XXXXX.XXXX.sample.
