Welcome!
IPv6: Hype, or Reality?
Answer: Yes!
You’re here because v6 matters to you
We’re here to help!
Things we’ll answer:
•
•
•
•
How soon will I need v6?
How do I prepare?
What will the transition be like?
How can WatchGuard help me?
Come On In: The Water’s Fine!
IPv4 is dead…long live IPv4!
Last 2 /8’s Allocated…
So, what does v6 adoption
look like?
IPv6 is Everywhere….sort of…
Breadth, not depth
All regions are participating
Traffic Volumes Low

Sometimes “unofficial” data is the most
interesting…
IP
• IPv4: 5.5 Gbps worldwide
“Background
• IPv6: 407 kbps for a big /12
Radiation”

OK….Pencils and Binoculars Ready?
IPv6 Primer
IPv6 Field Guide
IPv6 Technical Brief
What’s the problem with IPv4?
Simply put, it doesn’t offer enough addresses…
World Population:
Around 6.8 billion
Number of IPv4 addresses:
Around 4.3 billion
It Gets Worse…
People (personal computers) aren’t the only thing online…
IPv6 Technical Benefits
Exponentially more IP addresses
Fixed headers means faster traffic
True end-to-end addressing. (No more NAT?)
Built in end-to-end security (IPSec)
Built in QoS functionality
Autoconfiguration
Great for mobiles
Quick IPv4 Address Recap
• Developed in 80s
• 232
• 4.3 billion possible addresses (4,294,967,296)
• Generally represented in decimal
• NAT allows more (1000s of devices can hide behind one IPv4 address)
One byte = 0 - 255
32-bit (four bytes) long
208.132.96.25
1101000.10000100.01100000.00011001
Dissecting an IPv6 Address
• Developed in 1998 (RFC 2460)
•2128
• 3.4 x 1038 or 340 Undecillion (what?) possible addresses
•Generally represented in hexadecimal (HEX)
•Who needs NAT!
Two bytes = 0 – FFFF (65535)
128-bits (16 bytes) long
340 282 366 920 938

Shortening IPv6 Addresses
2001:0019:0545:0003:0200:0000:0000:67CF
Remove preceding zeros
2001:19:545:3:200:0:0:67CF
Remove groups of zeros
2001:19:545:3:200::67CF
2001:19:545:3:200:::67CF
Reading HEX Primer
Hexadecimal (base 16) is a numeral system with sixteen symbols
• 0-9 = well… zero through nine (duh)
• A-F = 10 – 15
•10,11,12,13 = 16, 17, 18. 19
Converting HEX to decimal:
4D5F
(4 x 163) + (13 x 162) +(5 x 161 ) + (15 x 160)
(16384) + (3328)+(80)+(15)
19807 or (0100110101011111)
Types of IPv6 Addresses
•Unicast Address – a one-to-one address:
• Global – publicly routable address assigned by IANA (2000::/3)
• Link local – Local address assigned for auto configuration or neighbor
discovery, etc… not routed. (FE80::/10)
• Unique local – like private addresses. Just used at local site (FC00 or
FD00::/8)
• Special – special addresses like loopback or default gateway
• Compatible – used for IPv4 to IPv6 migration
•Multicast Address – an address intended for one-to-many communication:
• Multicast – sent to members in a multicast group
• Broadcast – sent to all address on a network (technically, now a allnodes multicast)
•Anycast Address – a new address used to send to the first receipient of a
group

IPv6 Subnetting
•CIDR only (slash notation)
•No concept of subnet masks
•/ followed by prefix size (decimal number 1-128)

CIDR to range tool: http://www.ultratools.com/tools/ipv6CIDRToRange
What about MAC?
•Hosts generate a unique “Interface Identifier”
• Called 64-bit Extended Unique Identifier or EUI-64
• 48-bit MAC addresses converted by adding FFFE to the middle

92:3A:2B:FF:FE:06:2C:D1
What about ARP?
IPv6 replaces ARP with the Neighborhood Discovery Protocol. This new
protocol combines many functions:
Host-to-Host Functions
• Address resolution (uses ICMPv6 Neighbor advertisement and solicitation msgs)
• Duplicate address detection
• Next-Hop determination
• Neighbor unreachable detection
Host/Router Discovery Functions
• Router Discovery
• Prefix Discovery
• Parameter Discovery
• Address Autoconfiguration

• Multicast Address: An address to communicate from one-to-many
• Anycast Address: A new type of address to communicate from one to
