IPv6 Packet Format Objectives IPv6 vs IPv4 IPv6 Packet Format IPv6 fields IPv6 and data-link technologies IPv6: Large Address Space IP Frame IP packets are carried over link-layer technologies such as Ethernet (10 Mbps), Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps), Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps), Frame Relay, and many others. Each link-layer technology family has its own link-layer frame that carries IP packets. IP packet is carried between the frame header and frame trailer of a link-layer frame. IP Packet An IP packet has two fundamental components: IP header IP header contains many fields that are used by routers to forward the packet from network to network to a final destination. Contains layer 3 info Fields within the IP header identify the sender, receiver, and transport protocol and define many other Parameters. Payload Represents the information (data) to be delivered to the receiver by the sender. Contains data upper-layer info Scope of IPv6 with the OSI Reference Model Levels of Addressing Hierarchy IPv4 Addressing Concepts and Their IPv6 Equivalents IPv4 Addressing Concepts and Their IPv6 Equivalents IPv4 Header Structure basic IPv4 header contains 12 fields. each field of the IPv4 header has a specific use. Shaded field are removed in IPv6. IPv4 Header - Review IPv4 Header - Review Version (4 bits) Indicates the version of IP and is set to 4. Internet Header Length (4 bits) Indicates the number of 4-byte blocks in the IPv4 header. Because an IPv4 header is a minimum of 20 bytes in size, the smallest value of the Internet Header Length (IHL) field is 5. Type of Service (4 bits) Indicates the desired service expected by this packet for delivery through routers across the IPv4 internetwork. Contains a 6-bit Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) field (RFC 2472) and two flags to support Explicit Congestion Notification (RFC 3168). IPv4 Header - Review Total Length (16 bits) Indicates the total length of the IPv4 packet (IPv4 header + IPv4 payload) and does
