IPv6
- 4 Types of adresses
Loopback
00...1 (128 bits)
::1/128
Multicast
11111111
FF00::/8
Link-Local unicast
1111111010
FE80::/10
Global Unicast
(everything else)
All hosts in IPv6 has the same link local subnet fe80::/10 see RFC4291
Thus we can use the same default GW on each host !!! fe80::1
While IPv4 has a fixed limit of around 4 billion IP addresses, IPv6 will have exponentially more, on the magnitude of around 340 billion billion billion billion (3.4×1038).
- Next gen ip protocol
As the 4 billion IPv4 addresses run out sometime early next decade (current estimates: 2011-2012), the Internet will stop growing if we do not find ways to tackle the exhaust. The successor to IPv4 - IPv6 - allows 340 undecillion addresses or more than 50 billion billion billion per person on earth.
PI - Provider independent IP block Importance for dual homing.
Address plan examples (2015)
- Only first half /64 used, last half of ipv6 is for host-ID
- Big company's may be issued with /32 IPv6 space.
- Best practice is to use /48 for a site, with /64 for individual subnet's.
- Two main chains of thought for sub-netting
- Regional, e.g. Country, Site, Building, allowing for summerisation
- Functional, e.g Function, Site etc. allowing for security rules based on a prefix mask.
