Internet Protocol –v6

• Why IPv6?– IPv4 address extension using CIDR– Real time support– Mobility support– Flexible and efficient


• Aims of IPv6– support huge amount of addresses– Reduce size of routing tables– Simplify protocol – router to process packets

faster– Better security – authentication and privacy– Handle type of service – real-time data– Aid in multi-castings– Mobility of host– Protocol should be upgradable– Allow for old and new protocols to co-exist


• Features of IPv6– addressing capabilities

• Address size increased from 32 to 128 bits• More levels of address hierarchy• Support new ‘anycast address’

– Quality of Service Capability• Label packets for special handling during

flow


• Features of IPv6– Header Format Simplification

• Number of fields in header is reduced• Header is of fixed length• Fragmentation not allowed at routers

– Only source can fragment


• Features of IPv6– Improved Support for options

• Encoding of the options changed• Router does not examine options (except

hop-by-hop options)• More efficient forwarding• Less stringent limits on the length • Greater flexibility for new options


• Features of IPv6– Security

• IP level security• Authentication and privacy supported

• PDU of IPv6– Priority – Traffic class

• Route choosing• Interactive class – low delay• Real- time – path with less than 100ms delay


• PDU of IPv6– Flow Label

• Performance guarantees• Path establishment – id provided• id to be used in all packets


• PDU of IPv6– Next Header – 8 bits

• Id for the header following the IPv6 header • could identify the additional (optional)

extension headers if any


• PDU of IPv6– Next Header –

• PDU of IPv6– Next header

• Exists in IPv6 header and the Extension Header

• Used to identify the next header• Extension headers are not processed by

any node along the packet’s route (except the hop-by-hop options header)


• PDU of IPv6– Destination options– Fragmentation options– Authentication– Payload security– Hop- by hop options– Extended routing


• Addressing in IPv6– Unicast – an id for a single interface– Anycast – An id for a set of interfaces – Multicast- an id for a set of interfaces


• Addressing in IPv6– Address Representation – hex notation

• X: X: X: X: X: X: X: X

– Eg:FEDC:BA57:9874:C87B:98AC:7654:AB56:56AB

– 1080:0:0:0:800:200C:6:417A ( leading zeros can be omitted)

– 1080::800:200C:6:417A

Mobile Internet Protocol

• MobileIP– Use of portable computers on the

Internet– Internet connection on migration– Issues

• IP addressing depends on connection to a network


Ex: 160.80.40.20– 160.80 – IP address class B network

number 8272– 40.20 is the host number 10260 – Routing tables carry network id– packets routed based on the network id– Machine moves to a different network

• IP address changes


MobileIP Features - ietf– Mobile host must to use its home IP address

anywhere – No Software changes to fixed hosts – No Changes to router software and tables – Most packets for mobile hosts should not

make detours on the way– No overheads while Mobile host is at home


Routing to Mobile Hosts– Locate Host– Forward packet to host at current

location


Routing to Mobile Hosts– Locate Host

Foreign LAN

WAN

MAN

Home LAN

MSC

Home agent



• Identify areas – LAN, wireless networks• Each area has a Foreign Agent, Home Agent• Home Agent

– Responsible for roaming host – Has the details of its current position– Will forward messages to roaming host



• Foreign Agent– Responsible for foreign host in its territory– Roaming Host reports to Foreign Agent– Foreign Agent communicates to Home Agent– Foreign Agent is the c/o for messages to Mobile

Host– Broadcasts itself



• Foreign Agent– Roaming user registers – giving its home

address– Current data link layer address– Security information– FA authenticates from HA– Gives its address as c/o for the mobile node


Routing to Mobile Hosts– Forwarding packets

• Packets addressed to Mobile host intercepted by HA

• HA encapsulates packet into a new IP packet with FA as destination and itself as Source and sends to FA – tunnelling

• FA removes encapsulation and forwards on layer 2 to roaming mobile



• OR• HA gives FA address to sender of messages

and forwards only the first message• Subsequent messages are tunneled to FA

from Sender directly bypassing home network



Packet is tunneled to foreign agent

Subsequent packets are tunneled to foreign agent

Sender is given foreign agent’ address

Packet is sent to Mobile Host’s Home address

Intserv support - Router features– Admission Control– Classifier– Packet Scheduler– Reservation set up protocols


Intserv support - Router features– Reservation set up protocols

• Helps provide sat up facilities for specific flow demands

• Message carries application requirements and goes though each and every router to the end node

• If successful in providing resources– Call accepted

• All routers enroute should handle


Intserv support - Router features– Reservation set up protocols

• Routing agents decide on the routes when such messages come by

• Passed to Reservation set up agent• Communicates with the admission control• Who check if the call can be supported• If so – reservation agents makes bookings


Intserv support - Router features– Classifier

• Classifies incoming packets into proper queues for appropriate handling

• Classes can be one flow, multiple flows• All packets belonging to one class are

handled identically by the scheduler


Intserv support - Router features– Packet scheduler

• Schedules based on each flow requirement• Uses queues and timers• Priority only• Weighted fair queuing• Packet dropping under congestion• Sets congestion control mechanisms


Intserv support - Router featuresEstimator

Measures actual outgoing traffic

Useful for the admission control

Policing

Classifying flowsDestination address, source address, ports

Flow-id – IPv6

Differentiated Service in Internet

– Packet are classified into traffic aggregates

– Service provided to traffic aggregates– Complexity only at boundary nodes

• Classification• Conditioning• Shaping

– Interior nodes – no states


– Interior nodes – no states• Per hop behavior (PHB) defined for each

traffic class• TOS field used as DS field – diffserv field• Decouples service from applications• Decouples traffic conditioning and service

provisioning from forwarding• Scalable• Robust


– DS domain• Nodes operating within a common service

provisioning• Across domains – Service Level

Agreements


– Diffserv routers• Packet classifier

– Classfies– Forwards to appropriate traffic conditioner

• Traffic conditioning– Metering, shaping, policing, remarking based on

subsequent domains


– Summary• High popularity• Limited capability• Backward compatibility• Retro-fit?• Will IPng be the solution?• Real –time support?• Wireless support?• High bit rate applications?
