IPv6 Improvement
Fixed size header, no options
eliminate header length field easy for processing

Byte alignment
easy for processing

Support extension and options by using next header options

Improve scalability and functionality

QoS capable
flow label and traffic class

Time to live replaced by hop limit

counts in terms of hop number, not time, is more practical

Security built-in
header options

Header checksum
Links become more reliable handled by upper layers

Extension options
Hop-by-hop option
Every hop alone the delivery path of the packet should process

Destination option
Destination node should process the packet

Routing header option

Used in source routing, policy based routing, provider selection, host mobility, etc

Fragmentation header option

Fragmentation is done at the source and assembly is done at the destination Unlike IPv4, fragmentation in IPv6 is performed only by source nodes For every packet generated a 32 bit identifier is assigned

Authentication option
For authentication data and information exchange
8

IPv6 Basics (Cont.)

Three type of IPv6 addresses
Unicast
identify a single interface

Anycast
identify a set of interfaces such that a packet sent to a anycast address will be delivered to one member of the set

Multicast
identify a group of interfaces such that a packet sent to a multicast address is delivered to all the interfaces in the group

No broadcast
superseded by multicast addresses.

IPv6 Basics (Cont.)

Stateless autoconfiguration process
Generate link-local address [prefix + interface identifier

Verify uniqueness of tentative address

Transmit Neighbor Solicitation message with the tentative address as target address

Response

Neighbor Adverisement message is returned (existing node is using this address)

No Response

Assume tentative address is unique and available

15

IPv6 Basics (Cont.)

Host autoconfiguration Router autoconfiguration
Router renumbering
A change in providers means a change in addresses Manual changes are clearly undesirable
Automatic address expiration mechanisms built into IPv6 Router advertisements drive the expiration Next question is how to reconfigure the routers Goal is minimal network administration effort

Automatic renumbering of routers by setting a new prefix at a single border

router Uses a Prefix Control Operation (PCO) to change the prefix in a number of ways ICMP Router Renumbering messages are then sent to all downstream routers Renumbered routes then send Router Advertisements to renumber hosts 16

Why using IPv6 in 3G ?

VoIP/Data services over 3G
We need more IP addresses We need end-to-end security We need mobility between 3G other networks We need QoS

28

Why using IPv6 in 3G ?

How about NAT (network address translation) ?
Performance issue (NAT on GGSN) SIP will break End-to-end security will break Difficult to offer end-to-end QoS Difficult to offer seamless mobility

IPv6 and 3GPP2 (Cont.)

Current 3GPP 2 architectural principal
The All-IP architecture shall be designed in such a way that a migration from IPv4 to IPv6 is feasible and that IPv4 and IPv6 based All-IP networks may interoperate

Conclusions
R99 and R4 still use IPv4 In R5, IPv6 is a MUST In 3GPP2 All-IP, IPv6 is recommended Mobile data (Internet) service/applications will speed up the deployment of IPv6 over 3G Mobile data (Internet) applications/services boost
SMS/EMS/MMS/MIM

All-IP (VoIP) over 3G

Still have to wait Technologies/infrastructure are not ready
SIP/ENUM
