Smaller number of header fields Altered support for header extensions Addition of a flow label header field 精品文档 IPv6 What has not changed Almost everything! IPv6 is a connectionless datagram delivery service using end-to-end address identifiers and end-to-end signalling with TCP and UDP transport services. So is IPv4. 精品文档 IETF IPv6 Specifications There are 90 RFCs that describe aspects of IPv6 Including: RFC2460 Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Specification [December 1998] RFC2373 IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture [July 1998] RFC3177 IAB/IESG Recommendations on IPv6 Address [September 2001] 精品文档 IETF IPv6 Working Group Request For Comments: An Architecture for IPv6 Unicast Address Allocation (RFC 1887) Internet Prot
