4.1.6 System IPv6 IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), also ca lled IPng (IP next generation), was developed by the IETF (Internet Engineering T ask Fo rce) as the successor to IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4). Compared with IPv4, IPv6 increases the IP address size from 32 bit s to 128 bits; this solves the IPv4 address exhaustion problem.  IPv[...]

 Introduction to IPv6 address 1. IPv6 address format An IPv6 address is represented as a series of 16-bit hexadecimals, separated by colons (:). An IPv6 address is divided into eight groups, and the 16 bit s of each group are represented by four hexadecimal numbers which are se parated by colons, for example, 2001:0d02:0000:0000:0014: 0000:0 000[...]

The type of an IPv6 address is designated by the first several bits called format prefix. The following table lists the mappings betw een address types and format prefixes. T ype Format Prefix (binary) IPv6 Prefix ID Unassigned address 00…0 (128 bits) ::/128 Loopback address 00…1 (128 bits) ::1/128 Link-local address 1111111 0 1 0 F E 8 0 ::/10[...]

An interface ID is used to identify inter fac es on a link. The interface ID must be unique to the link. It may also be unique over a broader scope. In many cases, an interface ID will be the same as or based on the link-layer address of an interface. Interf ace IDs used in global unicast and other IPv6 address types must be 64 bits long and constr[...]

1. IPv6 Neighbor Solicitation Message A value of 135 in the T ype field of the ICMP packet header identifies a neighbor solicitation (NS) message. Neighbor solicit ation messages are sent on t he local link when a node wants to determine the link-layer address of another nod e on the same local link. After receiving the neighbor solicitation messag[...]

Chapter 9 Multicast  Multicast Overview In the network, packet s are sent in three modes: unicast, broadcas t and multicast. In unicast, the source server sends separate copy information to each receiver . When a large numbe r of users require this information, the serv er must send many pieces of info rmation with the same content to the users.[...]

 IPv4 Multicast Address 1. IPv4 Multicast IP Address: As specified by IANA (Internet Assigned Numbe rs Authority), Class D IP addresses are used as destination addresses of multic ast packets. The multicast IP addresses range from 224.0.0.0–239.255.255.255. The following table disp lays the range and description of several special multicast IP[...]

Flags have 4 bits. The high-order flag is re served, and must be initialized to 0. T=0 indicates a permanently-assigned multicas t address assigned by the Internet Assgined Numbers Authority (IANA).
