IIESoc

Two-part IPv6 Fundamentals and IPv6 MultiCast training course, led by Networking and IPv6 expert Nalini Elkins. We encourage you to register now for this exciting opportunity!

​

DETAILS

To be successful in implementing and understanding IPv6 networks, you need to first understand the IPv6 address methodology which is, in many ways, a fundamental change from the IPv4 paradigm. In this introduction, you will become familiar with what is different as well as what is the same with IPv6. Network engineers and systems engineers who are familiar with IPv6 addresses are welcome.

This two part series will cover:

● Public and private addresses
● IPv6 Prefixes
● IPv6 Address Structure
● IPv6 Interface ID
● IPv6 Addressing and Address Allocation Methods (stateless, statefull)
● Address types, unicast, multicast, anycast
● Address categories: global, site local, link local
● Unique Local Unicast addresses
● Zero compression
● Special addresses (loopback, unspecified, IPv4 mapped IPv6)
● Broadcast address elimination

We will also do an introduction to Neighbor Discovery (ND). The Neighbor Discovery Protocol isone of key building blocks of IPv6, though it creates an alphabet soup of acronyms (NDP, RA, RS, NS, NA, DAD, MLD, SLAAC, RDNSS). We will describe how NDP works and its basic functions, including addressing and routing.

● Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)
● Router Advertisements (RA)
● Router Solicitation (RS)
● Neighbor Solicitation (NS)
● Neighbor Advertisement (NA)
● Duplicate Address Detection (DAD)
● Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD)
● Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC)
● Router Advertisements for DNS (RDNSS)
