TCP/IP Protocol Suite 1 Chapter 27 Upon completion you will be able to: Next Generation: IPv6 Understand the shortcomings of IPv4 Know the IPv6 address format, address types, and abbreviations Be familiar with the IPv6 header format Know the extension header types Objectives
TCP/IP Protocol Suite IPv6 IPv6 has these advantages over IPv4: 1. larger address space 2. better header format 3. new options 4. allowance for extension 5. support for resource allocation 6. support for more security The topics discussed in this section include: IPv6 Addresses Address Space Assignment Packet Format Comparison between IPv4 and IPv6
