 Data-oriented protocol to be
used on a packet switched
internetwork
 It is a best effort delivery
protocol in that it does not
guarantee delivery, nor does it
assure proper sequencing, or
avoid duplicate delivery.
 Fourth revision in the
development of the Internet
Protocol(IP).
 The first version of the protocol Map of internet addresses colored by subnet
to be widely deployed.
 Addresses are denoted by 4 groups of octets
separated by periods in between them.
 Example: 132.170.215.150
 IPv4 uses 32-bit (four-byte) addresses, which limits
the address space to 4,294,967,296 (232) possible
unique addresses.
 As the number of addresses available are
consumed, an IPv4 address shortage appears to be
inevitable, however network address translation
(NAT) has significantly delayed this inevitability.
 There are 3 classes of private subnets in IPv4
 192.168.0.0/16
 172.16.0.0/12
 10.0.0.0/8

 169.254.0.0/16 contains link-local addresses

 127.0.0.0/8 is reserved for loopback
addressing
 IPv6 or Internet Protocol
Version 6 is the next
generation protocol for the
Internet.
 designed by the IETF
(Internet Engineering Task
Force)
 The successor of IPv4
 IPv6 has a very large
address space (128 bits)
compared as IPv4 (32bits)
 Addresses the main
problem from IPv4
 Brings Quality of Service
that is required for
several new applications
 Guarantee performance
while heavy traffic over
network
 More efficient routing
 Reduced Management
required
 Multi-Homing
 Contain large addressing space
 Classified into three categories:
 Unicast address : an identifier for a single interface
 Multicast address : an identifier for a group/set of
interfaces that may belong to the different nodes.
 Anycast address : identifiers for a set of interfaces that
may belong to the different nodes
 addresses are denoted by eight groups of
hexadecimal quartets separated by colons in
between them.
 Example : 2001:cdba:0000:0000:0000:0000:3257:9652
 ::/96 The zero prefix denotes addresses that are
compatible with the previously used IPv4
protocol.
 ::/128 An IPv6 address with all zeroes in it is
referred to as an unspecified address and is used
for addressing purposes within a software.
 ff00::/8 This prefix is offered by IPv6 to denote
the multicast addresses. Any address carrying
this prefix is automatically understood to be a
multicast address.
 fe80::/10 This is a link-local prefix offered by
IPv6. This address prefix signifies that the
address is valid only in the local physical link.
 IPSec, is a framework of open standards (from IETF) that
define policies for secure communication in a network
 These security services such as
 access control
 connectionless integrity
 data origin authentication
 protection against replays (a form of partial sequence integrity),
 confidentiality (encryption)
 limited traffic flow confidentiality.
 Ipsec supports are
 Data Encryption Standard (DES) 56-bit and Triple DES (3DES) 168-bit
symmetric key encryption algorithms in IPSec client software.
 Certificate authorities and Internet Key Exchange (IKE) negotiation. IKE is defined in RFC
2409.
 Encryption that can be deployed in standalone environments between clients, routers,
and firewalls
