What are the challenges in implementing IPv6 addresses?
Address spoofing is a major issue on tunnels to a 6to4 relay router. For incoming traffic, the 6to4 router is unable to match the IPv4 address of the relay router with the IPv6 address of the source. Therefore, the address of the IPv6 host can easily be spoofed. The address of the 6to4 relay router can also be spoofed.
Which is the future in IPv6 addressing?
The possibility of adding on to the base of IPv4 technology is costly, labor intensive and error-prone, which is why IPv6 is the way of the future. IPv6 will not change the functionality of network video products, but it will make systems run more efficiently. Consider how people used to get mail.
What do you think is a challenge of supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses?
Unless network infrastructure is running what is known as a “dual stack”, i.e. two independent networking stacks that allow the processing and subsequent translation of the two protocols, the infrastructure cannot easily handle both IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time.
What do you see as a way in which IPv6 can may or will impact society in the future?
Using IPv6 can reduce the resources required to continue to support legacy IPv4 devices, which can also simplify network management and troubleshooting in some cases. Native IPv6 traffic can be expected to perform better and more reliably than IPv4 traffic using transitional techniques.
What are the pros and cons of IPv6?
IPv6 Design
- Pro: Much Larger Address Space.
- Pro: Virtually Unlimited Host Addresses per Prefix.
- Pro: Stateless Autoconfig.
- Con: Harder to Fit Prefixes on Topology Drawings.
- Draw: No More IP Scanning.
- Con: Don’t Forget to Enable IPv6 Routing.
- Pro: Automatic Link-Local Addressing.
- Con: Typing Long Addresses.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of IPv4 and IPv6?
IPV4 is necessary to encrypt data to ensure privacy. It takes security measures to encrypt data in its address packets. IPV6 protocol can be easily supported by most of the topology drawings. Since addresses are combined more effectively the process of routing has become more efficient in IPV4.
Why IPv6 is inevitable in future technology?
IPv6 is the latest Internet Protocol that is due to succeed the existing IPv4. IPv6 vastly increases the number of available addresses, enabling the continued growth of communication devices into the distant future. IPv6 also introduces some new features that will improve how the Internet functions.
What is the future for network administrators and addressing schemes with IPv6?
By removing the limitation of IP addresses, IPv6 will enable a large number of devices and applications to benefit from the Internet. Many embedded systems will now have their own IP addresses, thus eliminating the need for NAT.
What is IPv6 and why do we need it?
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the sixth revision to the Internet Protocol and the successor to IPv4. It functions similarly to IPv4 in that it provides the unique IP addresses necessary for Internet-enabled devices to communicate.
How can I ensure that IPv6 doesn’t bring infrastructure challenges?
With some basic scanning and OS level auditing, you should have a decent start to ensure that IPv6 won’t bring any infrastructure challenges that you haven’t already anticipated. Applications can be another story though, so don’t get too excited. Network audits may sound like a simple solution, but that only works to a point.
Is IPv6 a disruptive upgrade?
Since IPv6 can be a “disruptive” upgrade (especially if done incorrectly), and changes the networking game in a few ways, expect resistance by decision makers. The solution to this concern is communication.
Is IPv6 compatible with hybrid networks?
As more users work from their homes, many of them are already on hybrid or IPv6 networks provided by their internet service providers. Though managing a more remote fleet of devices has its own challenges, IPv6 compatibility is likely not one of them.
How will IPv6 affect my dual stack network?
Since IPv6 is most likely “not replacing” your IPv4 network, you will be running them concurrently – which impacts things financially since there are direct operational costs. You got it – dual-stack = two networks, so you are going to need to present this effectively so it doesn’t come across as “double the workload”.
