Review Lecture 30
IP Datagram Header Format
Datagram Transmission and Frames
Encapsulation
Transmission across an Internet
MTU
Reassembly
Identifying a Datagram
Fragmentation Loss
Fragmenting a Fragment
Current version of IP - Version 4 (IPV4)
IPv4 has shown remarkable ability to
move to new technologies
IETF has proposed entirely new version
to address some specific problems
Success of IP IP has accommodated dramatic changes since original design
Basic principles still appropriate today
Many new types of hardware
Scale
Scaling
Size - from a few tens to a few tens of millions of computers
Speed - from 56Kbps to 1Gbps
Increased frame size in hardware
Motivation for Change
Type of service
Different applications have different requirements for delivery reliability and speed
Current IP has type of service that's not often implemented
Multicast
Preliminary versions called IP - Next
Generation (IPng)
Several proposals all called IPng
One was selected and uses next
available version number (6)
Result is IP version 6 (IPv6)
Contains less information than IPv4 header
NEXT HEADER points to first extension header
FLOW LABEL used to associate datagrams belonging to a flow or communication between two applications Traffic class Specific path Routers use FLOW LABEL to forward datagrams along prearranged path
Base header is fixed size - 40 octets
NEXT HEADER field in base header defines type of header Appears at end of fixed-size base header
Some extensions headers are variable sized NEXT HEADER field in extension header defines type HEADER LEN field gives size of extension header
Summary
Success of IP
Motivation for Change
IPV6 Features
IPV6 Datagram Format
IPV6 Base Header Format
