Summary of Certification Process (part 1)
IPv6 Client IPv6 packets inside IPv4 packets
Test IPv6 Tunnel
Register a Domain Name Domain registrar –Registers whois info –Assigns authoritative DNS server –Puts “glue records” at the top-level domain (.info,.com, etc.) with A and AAAA records of your nameservers
Set DNS Records
Test DNS Resolution
IPv6 Web Server IPv6 packets inside IPv4 packets IIS Server Listening On [::]:80 HE.NET HTTP GET IPv6 Backbone Native IPv6 IPv6-to-IPv4 Gateway Native IPv6
IPv6 Server IPv6 packets inside IPv4 packets James Server Listening On [::]:25 HE.NET SMTP SEND IPv6 Backbone Native IPv6 IPv6-to-IPv4 Gateway Native IPv6
Chapter 3
3.3 IPv6 Header Traffic Class: same as TOS in IPv4 Flow Label: used for QoS Next Header: can start a chain of headers
3.4 IPv6 Extension Headers Extension headers are only examined by the destination node –Except for the rarely-used Hop-by-Hop Options header
Most Important Extension Headers TCP, UDP, ICMP6 –Specify the higher-layer protocol AH and ESP –Used for IPsec security Mobility –Used for Mobile IPv6
Routing Header Zero Deprecated, and recommended to be filtered out – A denial-of-service condition is possible by specifying a malicious path, such as a loop
ICMPv6
3.5.3 Neighbor Discovery Main Uses –Autoconfiguration of IPv6 Addresses –Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) –Address Resolution (replacing ARP)
Router Advertisement Router Solicitation (RS) –Sent by an interface when it is enabled and needs an IP address Router Advertisement (RA) –Routers send these messages out, telling clients the network prefix and other configuration information
Neighbor Solicitation Neighbor Solicitation (NS) –A node sends this message to verify that a neighbor is still reachable, or for Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) Neighbor Advertisement (NA) –The response to a NS message
“Solicited Node Multicast Address” (see p. 3-27)
3.5.4 Autoconfiguration Automatic addressing via two mechanisms –Stateless Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) No server needed Routers advertise network portion Hosts make up their own host portion –Stateful Autoconfiguration (DHCPv6) Requires a DHCP server
3.5.6 Path Maximum Transmission Unit (PMTU) Discovery IPv4 allows each router to fragment packets if needed to pass into a network with a small MTU In IPv6, only the sender can change the packet size –This makes the process much more efficient
Path Maximum Transmission Unit (PMTU) Discovery ICMPv6 “Packet Too Big” messages are sent to inform the source device to use smaller packets
