How big is the IPv6 address range ?
Weight of earth (in grams)
5x10^27 ~ 5x2^90 < 2^93
 IPv6 address range
2^128
 Current internet address range
2^32
We have more than 8 times the current internet
for each gram on earth!

Mobility

Mobile devices (icl. phones) becomes
common

Mobile IPv6 is intended to enable IPv6 nodes
to move from one IP subnet to another

While a mobile node is away from home

Node informs about its current location

Home agent tunnels packets to present location
Is it Portable Networking?


Portable Networking requires connection to
same ISP
Technologies

Bluetooth


Wireless Ethernet (802.11)


Short range, low cost radio links between mobile
devices
MAC Layer technology
Cellular


Autoconfig

Stateless address autoconfiguration

No resource management thanks to address
architecture

Routers advertise information about subnet

Hosts receive information and configure itself
Stateless Autoconfiguration
Generate a link local address
Verify this tentative address
Is ok. Use a neighbor solicitation
with the tentative address as the target.
ICMP type 135
If the address is in use
a neighbor advertisement
Message will be returned.
ICMP type 136
Fail and go to manual Configuration or choose
A different interface token
If no response
Assign the address to the
Interface. At this point the
Node can communicate
On-link.
Stateless Autoconfiguration
Assign address to
Interface.
Node joins the All Routers
Multicast group. FF02::1
Sends out a router
Solicitation message to That group.
ICMP type 133
Router responds with a
Router advertisement.
ICMP type 134
Stateless Autoconfiguration
Look at the “managed address
configuration" flag
If M= 0 proceed with
Stateless configuration
Look at "other stateful
configuration" flag
If M=1 stop and
Do statefull config.
If O= 1 use statefull
Configuration for other information
If O = 0 finish
Security issues

Not all the consequences are understood

IPsec is mandatory

*-scanning is not an option anymore

NAT is not needed

More automation (less human mistake, more autopilot crash!)
IPv6 Ready Logo Program

Conformance and Interoperability program
For users !
Objectives
 Verify Protocol implementation and validate
interoperability of IPv6 products
 Access to self-testing tools
 Testing laboratories across the globe
Phase-1 (Silver) Logo
http://www.ipv6ready.org/about_phase1.html

Focuses on “core IPv6 protocols”

Verify minimum IPv6 support
(“MUST” in IETF specifications)

Phase-1 includes approx 170 tests

Avail since 9/2003
Phase-2 (Gold) Logo
http://www.ipv6ready.org/about_phase2.html

Includes all Phase-1 tests and extends to
optional tests
(“MUST” and “SHOULD” in IETF specifications)

Includes interoperability tests

Approx 450 tests
Some more details

All information can be found at:
http://www.ipv6ready.org

Phase-3 , TBD, will include IPsec as
mandatory
