This document specifies the operation of mobile computers using IPv6. Each mobile node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While situated away from its home, a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which provides information about the mobile node’s current location. IPv6 packets addressed to a mobile node’s ho...

Visualization is used by security analysts to help detect patterns and trends in large volumes of network traffic data. With IPv6 slowly being deployed around the world, network intruders are beginning to adapt their tools and techniques to work over IPv6 (vs. IPv4). Many tools for visualizing network activity, while useful for detecting large scale attacks and network behavior anomalies still ...

Routing complexity of the core network is crucial to Internet scalability. IPv6 is believed to have better performance in multihoming than conventional IPv4. With the depolyment of native IPv6 backbone networks, a new door is opened to a better Internet, empowered by the combination of a well-aggregated IPv6-only core and the fertile application resources which still remain in IPv4 networks. To...

Owner identification is an important aspect of improving network visibility and enhancing network security within local area networks deploying IPv6. This paper presents a simulation study for owner identification in an enterprise local area network from their IPv6 addresses. The study is based around the reverse implementation (many-to-one mapping) of a one-to-many reversible mapping. The pape...

IPsec-based VPN solutions today run mainly in the IPv4 environment and it is important that they have the capability of being upgraded to IPv6 to remain interoperable in next generation Internet. Two of the key components of every VPN solution are the trust management system used to secure the VPN establishment process and the policy mechanism used to control the VPN life-cycle. However, these ...

IPv6 is the next generation Internet protocol that is already in process of replacing the current IPv4 on corporate networks worldwide. Most of the latest MS Windows and Linux-based client/server operating systems (OSs) support IPv6. However, deploying IPv6 in a corporate network requires an evaluation to determine which modern OS will give the best bandwidth-latency for TCP applications. The m...

The evolution of the Internet has effectively exhausted all unique addresses offered by the current IPv4 protocol. Hence, IPv6 has been developed in response to the predicted long-term demand for addresses by Internet users. This new IP version has a 128-bit address length, which is four times that of IPv4. As the two protocols have different formats and behaviors, efforts are needed to ensure ...

IPv6 is being deployed but many Internet Service Providers have not implemented its support yet. Most of the end users have IPv6 ready computers but their network doesn’t support native IPv6 connection so they are forced to use transition mechanisms which transports IPv6 packets through IPv4 network. Unfortunately deployment of IPv6 is slow and at this rate, completion of the migration from IPv...

---------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT------------------------------------------------------Sharing of information and resources among different devices require networking. As networks are expanding day by day, Internet Protocols are gaining more and more popularity. Different transition mechanisms have been established and yet a lot of research is to be carried out. Intern...

As the IPv6 Internet grows, alias resolution in IPv6 becomes more important. Traditional IPv4 alias resolution techniques such as Ally do not work for IPv6 because of protocol differences. Recent techniques adopted specifically for IPv6 have shown promise, but utilize source routing, which has since been deprecated, or rely upon sequential fragment identifiers supported on only a third of route...
