Historical background:

·                   IPv4 address space exhaustion

·                   Emergency measures : CIDR, Private addressing and NAT

·             Motivation for a new version of IP (Executive summary of IPv6 main features)

IPv6 Protocol

·                     IPv6 Packet format

·                     Addresses : link local, global, multicast, anycast, ULA, etc.

·                     Extension Headers

Auto-configuration and Control

·                     Neighbor Discovery

·                     Stateless/Stateful Auto-configuration

·                     ICMPv6

·                     PMTU Discovery

Routing Protocols

·                     what is different from IPv4 Routing protocols ?

·                     standardization status of RPs and implementation

DNS Extensions to Support IPv6

·                     The DNS, seen as a two-faced protocol: TCP IP Protocol (client/server) vs Database (RRs storage)

·                     Name-to-IPv6-Address Resolution extension : AAAA

·                     IPv6-Address-to-Name Resolution extension : PTR under ip6.arpa

·                     DNS service continuity across IPv6 and IPv4 networks

·                     DNS service deployment (architecture & software components)

Coffee Break

IPv6 Integration

·                     Carrier Core Network (MPLS, 6PE)

·                     ISP Access Network (6to4, Tunnel Broker, Softwires)

·                     User Site Network (ISATAP, encapsulation techniques)

·                     In the host (SOCKS, ALG)

Programming

·                     Application Programming Interface (API)

·                     advanced API
