Advantages of IPv6
•Larger address space.

•Allowance for extension.

•New options.

•Support for resource allocation.

•Support for more security.


•INTRODUCTION
•A computer somewhere in the world needs to communicate with
another computer with the help of Internet . For this level of
communication, we need the global addressing scheme;we called this
Logical addressing.
We use the IP addresses to mean a logical address in the network
layer of the TCP/IP protocol suite.
The need for more addresses in addition to other concerns about IP
layer ,a new design of the IP layer called the new generation of IP or
IPv6(IP version 6) .
Types of IP address

IPv4 IPv6
(32-bits) (128-bits)
Structure of IPv6 addresses
Hexadecimal colon notation;
In this notation ,128 bits is divided into eight sections, its length is 2-bytes. Two bytes in
hexadecimal notation requires four hexadecimal digits. Every four digits separated by a colon.
128 bits=16 bytes=32 hex digits

Gap
Example.
Expand the address0:15::1:12::1213 to its original.

Soln;- Its original address is

0000:0015;0000;0000;0000;0001;0012;1213
Address Space
IPv6 has a much larger address space2^128 addresses are available .
The designers of IPv6 divided address into several categories. A few
leftmost bits, called the type prefix.

Types prefix Type Fraction


0000 0000 Reserved 1/256
0000 0001 Unassigned 1/256
010 Unicast addresses 1/8

1111 1110 10 Link local addresses 1/1024
1111 1110 11 Site local addresses 1/1024
1111 1111 Multicast address 1/256
Unicast Addresses
A unicast address defines a single computer. Its delivered that specific
computer.

1 2 3 4 5 6
5 Provider Subscriber Subnet identifier Note
identifier identifier
identifier

1)Type identifier. This 3-bit field defines the address as a provider-based


address.
2)Registry identifier. This 5-bits field indicates registered the address
.
code 11000 – INTERNIC (registry centers for North America)
code 01000 – RIPNIC (European registration)
code 10100 – APNIC (Asian and Pacific countries)

3)Provider identifier. A 16-bit length is recommended for this field. identfies the
provider for internet access.

4) Subscriber identifier. A 24-bit length.it is assigned a subscriber identification.


5)Subnet identifier. A 32-bit length . A specific subnetwork under the
territory of the subscriber.

6)Node identifier. A length of 48 bits.the identity of the node connected


to a subnet.

Multicast Addresses
Multicast addresses are used to define a group of hosts instead
of just one. A packet sent to a multicast address must be
delivered to each member of the group.

11111111 flag Scope Group ID

• many different scopes have been defined


•Anycast Addresses-like a multicast address.

•Reserved Addresses; types- unspecified


address,loopback,compatible,mapped address.

•Local Addresses;if organization wants to use IPv6 protocol


without connected to the global Internet.
