Neighbour Discovery in IPv6
نویسندگان
چکیده
IPv6 is the new network layer protocol, which is sought to eventually replace the existing IPv4 protocol as the standard of choice used throughout the global internet. Brought about initially due to urgent requirement for more available IP addresses, IPv6 also aims to provide substantial improvements on the old protocol and introduce entirely new innovations. One such improvement which includes innovative new solutions is the Neighbour Discovery protocol of IPv6. It is the implementation of this protocol and the services it provides which are the primary focus of the following report, and also how it improves on the current level of service that equivalent IPv4 protocols provide.

This document introduces extensions to Mobile IPv6 and IPv6 Neighbour Discovery to allow for local mobility handling. Hierarchical mobility management for Mobile IPv6 is designed to reduce the amount of signalling between the Mobile Node, its Correspondent Nodes, and its Home Agent. The Mobility Anchor Point (MAP) described in this document can also be used to improve the performance of Mobile ...
متن کاملAn address autoconfiguration protocol for IPv6 hosts in a mobile ad hoc network
A mobile ad hoc network is an infrastructure-free wireless network that is built on the fly. Since central administration or configuration by the users is impractical in such networks, autoconfiguration of network nodes is highly desirable. In this paper, we propose an approach to IPv6 address autoconfiguration in ad hoc networks, where we apply the IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration Prot...

One of the main purposes of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) developments was to solve the IP address depletion concern due to the burgeoning growth of the Internet users. The new Internet protocol provides end-to-end communication, enhanced security and extensibility apart from the other features such as address auto-configuration or plug-and-play and faster packet processing in the routers....
متن کاملApplication-Level Multicast as a Transition Mechanism Towards IPv6
The technical bene ts of IPv6 such as improved mobility support and dynamic address con guration are now well known. However, despite this fact, IPv6 has largely only seen deployment in the experimental 6bone network. For wide-scale IPv6 deployment to take place, two important conditions must be met: a realisable commercial gain must exist for making the move to IPv6, and an appropriate set of ...
متن کاملDenial of Service, Address Ownership, and Early Authentication in the IPv6 World (Transcript of Discussion)
In the IPv6 world, the IP protocol itself, i.e., IPv6, is used for a number of functions that currently fall beyond the scope of the IPv4 protocol. These functions include address configuration, neighbour detection, router discovery, and others. It is either suggested to or required that IPsec is used to secure these functions. Furthermore, IPsec is used to protect a number of functions that ar...
