Course schedule

1
Introduction

  • IPv4, a 30-year long success story.
  • Problems with IPv4.
  • Routing table explosion and addressing space exhaustion.
  • Real-time traffic and QoS handling. Efficiency.
  • Using CIDR and NAT.
  • Using DSCP.

2
IPv6 overview

  • IPv4 and IPv6 packet header formats.
  • IPv6 extension headers instead of IPv4 options.
  • TCP, UDP, and ICMP using IPv6 : what's new ?

3
Addressing scheme

  • 128-bit long addresses : address types, address representation, address lifetime.
  • Adresses scopes.
  • Link local and Global addresses.
  • Multicast and Anycast addresses.
  • Address allocation, IANA/ICANN, and RIR.
Hands-on work
Activating IPv6 on a Windows computer. Automatic and manual address configuration. Link local and global addresses. The IPv6 "ping" command.

4
Automatic configuration

  • New protocols : ICMPv6 and DHCPv6.
  • The enhanced role of the local router.
  • Neigbor Discovery Protocol and the RS, RA, NS and NA ICMPv6 messages.
  • Redirect ICMPv6 message.
  • Stateless and statefull automatic configuration.
  • Phases during automatic stateless configuration.
  • Building a globally unique address .
Hands-on work
Configuring routers and servers. Manual and/or automatic workstations configuration.

5
Applications using IPv6

  • IPv6 compatible DNS.
  • IPv6 transport, AAAA records.
  • Reverse address resolution. DNS clients.
  • IPv6 software compatibility. Native compatibility. Network API translation.
  • Upper layer protocols : Telnet, SSH, TFTP, SNMP, FTP, HTTP.
Hands-on work
Registering IPv6 addresses within a DNS server. Testing DNS servers and clients for IPv6 address resolution. Using IPv4 and IPv6 applications

6
IPv6 routing

  • Static routing vs. dynamic routing.
  • RIPng protocol.
  • OSPFv3 protocol.
  • EIGRP protocol and IPv6.
  • MBGP and IPv6.
Hands-on work
IPv6 static routing. IPv6 dynamic routing with RIPng, OSPFv3, MBGP.

7
Mobile and Security with IPv6

  • From mobile IPv4 to mobile IPv6.
  • Using bidirectional tunnels. Direct routing.
  • IPSec protocol.
  • Host authentication with AH. Privacy with ESP
  • Establishing dynamic security association with IKE and ISAKMP.
  • Internet Security Association Key Management Protocol.
Hands-on work
Transport mode IPsec between hosts. IPsec tunnels between routers.

8
Migrating from IPv4 to IPv6

  • Going from IPv4 to IPv6.
  • Using both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
  • Transition mechanisms. Dual stack, Protocol translation, Tunneling.
  • Best common practices.
