IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 12/91 Brief IPv6 Introduction IPv6 Addresses IPv6 Addresses & CIDR 9 IPv6 addresses are just classless (classes do not exist) • IPv6 networks are defined using CIDR notation (similarly as in the IPv4 case) 9 e.g., FDEC:0:0:0:0:BBFF:0:FFFF/60 Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2. IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 13/91 IPv6 Addresses IPv6 addresses - address types • unicast addresses - same as in IPv4 (a single network interface identification) • multicast addresses - same as in IPv4, used for addressing a group of devices/hosts • data is delivered to all the group members • prefix ff 00: :/8 • anycast addresses - a "newbie" in IPv6 • identify a group of devices/hosts as well • but data is delivered just to a single member of the group (the "closest" one) 9 IPv4 broadcast addresses are not used in IPv6 • replaced by special multicast addresses (i.e., FF02: : 1 — all the nodes on the particular LAN) Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2. IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 14/91 Brief IPv6 Introduction Path MTU discovery IPv6 Path MTU discovery • just source devices must decide the correct size of fragments • routers are not allowed to fragment datagrams, just the end nodes may! • if a datagram is too large for a router, it must drop it • and send back a feedback about this incident to the source (in the form of an ICMPv6 Packet Too Big message) • Path MTU Discovery • a special technique used for determining what size of fragments should be used • uses a feedback mechanism performed by ICMPv6's Packet Too Big messages • the source node sends a datagram (to the intended receiver) that has the MTU of its local physical link (it represents an upper bound on the MTU) • if this goes through without any errors, that value can be used for future datagrams destined to the particular destination • if it gets back any Packet Too Big messages, it tries again using a smaller datagram size (indicated in the Packet Too Big message) Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2.

IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 19/91 IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol in Detail Neighbor Discovery Protocol II consists of five ICMP messages: • Router Solicitation (RS) • Router Advertisement (RA) • Neighbor Solicitation (NS) • Neighbor Advertisement (NA) • ICMP Redirect Inverse Neighbor Discovery also possible • see the literature for details Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2. IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 20/91 Neighbor Discovery - L2 address resolution I. • very similar to ARP in IPv4 • based on Neighbor Solicitation and Neighbor Advertisement messages • a common multicast prefix is defined (FF02:0:0:0:0:1:FF00: :/104) • the node looking for an L2-layer address takes last 24 bits of the IP address, whose L2-address it is looking for, and concatenates it with the prefix • e.g., looking for L2-address of 2AC0:56: A319:15:022A: FFF: FE32: 5ED1, it gets FF02:0:0:0:0:1:FF32:5ED1 • (the destination address is a multicast address) • the last 24 bits ensure that the multicast group will contain just a few nodes (typically 1 or 0) • a Neighbor Solicitation message is sent to such a multicast address • the message contains the IPv6 address being resolved and the L2 address of the sending node • the neighbor has to listen for such messages in his multicast group(s) (based on his IPv6 address(es)) Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2. IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 21/91 Neighbor Discovery - L2 address resolution II. • once a node belonging to the particular multicast group receives a NS message, it answers with a Neighbor Advertisement message • note: there might be several nodes in the particular multicast group -just the one having the IPv6 address being resolved answers • the answer contains: • all the IPv6 and L2 addresses the node has • an attribute: • R (Router) - the sender is a router • S (Solicited) - indicates whether the NA has been solicited or not (unsolicited NAs are possible) • O (Override) - indicates whether the new information should override the old information previously saved on the node(s) • unsolicited Neighbor Advertisement 9 used in situations, when the node knows that his L2-address has changed • these messages are sent to multicast address containing all the nodes (FF02::1) Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2.

IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 25/91 IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol in Detail Duplicate Address Detection Neighbor Discovery - Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) • Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) • used during autoconfiguration process (see later) • the host sends NS message with its own address as the target address • destination address in the IPv6 header is set to the solicited-node multicast address • the source address is set to the unspecified address (: :, i.e. all zeros) • if there is another node on the link that is using the same address as the hosts's address, it will reply with a NA message (sent to the all-nodes multicast address), thus exposing the duplicated address to the host Host A ICMPtyp& = 135 Src =:: — □st = FF02::1:FFQQ:1 NS NA ^::::-i Host B ICMP type = 136 Src = 2000 ::1 D5l = FF02;;1 Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2. IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 26/91 IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol in Detail Neighbor Unreachability Detection Neighbor Discovery - Neighbor Unreachability Detection (NUD) • a node periodically controls the reachability of its neighbors (just the ones it is communicating with) o can be achieved by two ways: • a higher-level protocol (e.g., the TCP) informs IPv6 that the communication proceeds and thus the host is alive • otherwise, the IPv6 has to perform such a detection on its own • a cached address might be in one of the following states: • incomplete - address resolution is currently being performed and awaiting either a response or timeout (a NS has been sent, but the corresponding NA has not been received yet) • reachable - this neighbor is currently reachable (positive confirmation within the last ReachableTime has been received) • stale - more than ReachableTime milliseconds have elapsed since the last positive confirmation has been received • delay - the neighbor's reachable time has expired; an upper layer protocol might confirm the reachability within a specific time Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2.

IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 28/91 eighbor Discovery - Autoconfiguration • designed to overcome a manual hosts configuration before connecting them to the network • even larger sites should not need a DHCP server to configure their hosts • a key feature required when all sorts of devices (TVs, refrigerators, DVD players, etc.) will use IP addresses a IPv6 supports two types of autoconfiguration: • Stateful autoconfiguration - like DHCP in IPv4 world (here called DHCPv6) • Stateless autoconfiguration - a new type of autoconfiguration • (both might be combined) • stateless autoconfiguration may be used to generate IPv6 address, and • stateful autoconfiguration to obtain additional parameters (like DNS servers, etc.) Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2. IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 29/91 Neighbor Discovery - Stateless autoconfiguration • RFC 2462 • assumes that there are clever wisemen (routers) in the network, who know everything necessary • from time to time, they inform all the nodes about current configuration (Router Advertisements) • a new node just waits for an RA or unsolicitedly asks for it (Router Solicitation) • router advertisements: • periodically sent by every router • in random intervals to all the connected networks (via multicast destined to all connected hosts), or • as an answer to Router Solicitation message (via unicast to the host that has sent the RS) • contains specific information about the router • MTU • network prefixes • L2-address of the router's interface through which the RA has been sent • etc. Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2. IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 30/91 IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol in Detail Autoconfiguration Neighbor Discovery - Stateless autoconfiguration The mechanism I. • to generate its IP address, a host uses a combination of local information (such as its MAC address or a randomly chosen ID), and information received from routers a steps, which a device takes when using stateless autoconfiguration: • Link-Local Address Generation - the device generates a link-local address (so-called tentative address) • link-local addresses have 1111 1110 10 as first 10 bits (prefix FE80) • followed by 54 zeroes • followed by 64 bit interface identifier (the MAC address or a randomly chosen ID) o Link-Local Address Uniqueness Test - performed to ensure that the address the node had generated isn't already used in the local network • very unlikely an issue if the link-local address came from a MAC address, but more likely if it was based on a generated ID • the node sends a NS message and listens for a NA response (see Duplicate Address Detection mentioned before) Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2. IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 31/91 IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol in Detail Autoconfiguration Neighbor Discovery - Stateless autoconfiguration The mechanism II. • cont'd: • Link-Local Address Assignment - assuming the uniqueness test passes, the device assigns the link-local address to its IP interface • this address may be used for communication on the local network, but not on the wider Internet (since link-local addresses are not routed) • Router Contact - next, the node attempts to contact a local router to obtain more information on continuing the autoconfiguration • performed either by listening for RA messages sent periodically by routers, or by sending a specific RS message to ask a router for information on what to do next (to the all-routers multicast group, i.e. FF02::2) • Router Direction - the router provides direction to the node on how to proceed with the autoconfiguration • may instruct the node that the "stateful" autoconfiguration is in use, and provide it with the IP address of a DHCP server • alternatively, it may instruct the host how to determine its global Internet address Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2. IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 32/91 Neighbor Discovery - Stateless autoconfiguration The mechanism I. • cont'd: • Global Address Configuration - assuming that stateless autoconfiguration is in use, the host configures itself with its globally-unique Internet address • this address is generally formed from a network prefix provided to the host by the router, combined with the device's identifier generated in the first step Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2.

IPSec differentiates two modes of transport: • Transport mode 9 the protocol protects the messages passed down to IP from the transport layer • the message is processed by AH/ESP and the appropriate header(s) are added in front of the transport (UDP or TCP) header • the IP header is then added in front of that by IP • Tunnel mode • IPSec is used to protect a complete encapsulated IP datagram after the IP header has already been applied to it • the IPSec headers appear in front of the original IP header, and a new IP header is added in front of the IPSec header • i.e., entire original IP datagram is secured and encapsulated within another IP datagram Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2.

AH (Authentication Header) • a protocol that provides authentication of either all or part of the contents of a datagram • performed by an addition of a header calculated based on the values in the datagram • protocol steps: O 3 SA has to be set up between the two communicating devices o just the source and destination know how to perform the computation but nobody else can O on the source device, AH performs the computation and puts the result (called the Integrity Check Value (ICV)) into a special header with other fields for transmission O the destination device does the same calculation using the key the two devices share, which enables it to see immediately if any of the fields in the original datagram were modified • the presence of the AH header allows to verify the integrity of the message, but doesn't encrypt it • the AH provides just authentication, not privacy!

Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2. IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 67/91 QoS in the Internet • IPv4 is based on a simple packet forwarding model • all packets are treated alike - they are forwarded with best effort treatment according to "first-come, first-served" principle • there are no options to control flow parameters like delay, jitter, or bandwidth allocations • two main architectures for providing data streams with priorities and quality guarantees were proposed: • Integrated Services • based on the paradigm that bandwidth and all related resources are reserved per flow on an end-to-end basis (routers store information about flows and analyze each passing packet) • Differentiated Services • based on packets' markup (assigning the packets a certain priority class and their serving in the inner network nodes based on that priority) Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2. IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 68/91 IPv6 QoS Support in Detail Integrated Services Integrated Services Intergrated Services: • an application announces the network with its qualitative requirements • the network checks, whether the required resources are available, and decides, whether the request will be satisfied (so-called Admission Control phase) • if it's not possible to satisfy the requirements, the connection is refused • the application might decide about reducing its requirements • if the requirements could be satisfied, the network informs all the components on the path to the receiver about necessary resources' reservations (queues size, their priority, etc.) • a reservation protocol has to be used • e.g., the Resource reSerVation Protocol (RSVP) (RFC 2205) or the YESSIR (YEt another Sender Session Internet Reservations) • main drawback: • it's necessary to maintain a state in the inner network nodes (=> scalability problems) Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2.

Two IPv6 header fields can be used for QoS: Traffic Class field: • sometimes referenced as Packet Priority (PRI) field • 1-byte field o its use specified in RFC 2474 • introduces the term "DS field" (DiffServ field) for the Traffic Class field • DiffServ routers have a known set of DS routines which are determined by the 6-bit value {DiffServ CodePoints - DSCP) in the DS field • 64 different codepoints can be specified • coding rules are specified in RFC 3140 (assigned by IANA) • these DSCP values specify how packets should be forwarded • (a default behavior denominated by an all-zeros DSCP must be provided by any DS router (best-effort service)) • last 2 bits (Explicit Congestion Notification - ECN value) are specified in RFC 3168 • four possible codepoints used for Congestion Notification 9 using them, a router can signal overload before a packet loss occurs Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2.

A flow is a sequence of related packets sent from a source to a unicast, anycast, or multicast destination. Flow Label field: • a 20-bit field which enables classification of packets belonging to a specific flow • IPv6 routers must handle all the packets belonging to the same flow in a similar fashion • when routers receive the first packet of a new flow, they can process the information carried by the headers (IPv6 header, Routing header, and Hop-by-Hop extension headers) and store the result in a cache memory • this information can be used to route all other packets belonging to the same flow (when having the same source address and the same Flow Label, it does not require to examine all those headers) • how to use this field efficiently is still an open issue Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2. IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 75/91 IPv6 QoS Support in Detail QoS and IPv6 QoS and IPv6 Flow Label field II. • traditionally, flow classifiers have been based on the 5-tuple: source and destination addresses, ports, and the transport protocol type • the classifier must use transport next header value and port numbers (=>• less efficient) • some of these fields may be even unavailable due to either fragmentation or encryption • IPv6 uses just the triple of the Flow Label and the Source and Destination Address fields • it enables efficient IPv6 flow classification • only IPv6 main header fields in fixed positions are processed • IPv6 source nodes supporting the flow labeling must be able to label known flows (e.g., TCP connections, application streams) o even if they do not require any flow-specific treatment • a Flow Label of zero is used to indicate packets not being part of any flow Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2.

IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 78/91 IPv6 Transition Porting Applications IPv6 Transition - Porting Applications Applications using IPv4 network sockets need to be converted to IPv6: • this conversion can be very simple (simple programs) or a challenging effort (complex network applications) • the programmer has to make a decision, whether the program will be IPv4-only, separated IPv4 and IPv6, or IP protocol version independent (recommended for most cases) • IP protocol version independent code makes the code agnostic to the IP protocol version Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2. IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 79/91 IPv6 Transition - Porting Applications Issues I. Application porting issues under IPv6: • Address parsing 9 IPv4 dotted decimal addresses are trivial to parse • IPv6 hex-colon addresses require a library support for input or output • a complete input parser can be a few hundred lines of code • rendering an address in canonical form involves complex analysis of the address • Address memory space • legacy code often stores IPv4 addresses in 32-bit unsigned integer variables • native data type 9 makes masking operations easy • fewer details to remember • few machines have a native 128-bit data type • all the code has to be changed in order to use the appropriate structure (see later) Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2. IPv6 - advanced functionalities Autumn 2019 80/91 IPv6 Transition Porting Applications IPv6 Transition - Porting Applications Issues II. 9 URL and text representation of IP addresses • original standards for URLs and URIs do not allow IPv6 addresses in URLs • the problem is the colons in hex-colon notation (used for port specification in IPv4) • RFC 3986 modifies standard to allow IPv6 addresses in brackets • http://[fe80::219:dlff:fe06:e908] :8080/ • a lot of legacy code does not accept this • Multiple addresses 9 in the IPv4 world, the vast majority of systems have one address per interface • IPv6-enabled stack handles multiple IP addresses on a single interface (e.g., one IPv4 address, one global IPv6 address and one link-local IPv6 address) 9 the code must take this into account (e.g., when querying the DNS for server addresses, the client code should loop through all the received IP addresses until one is answering) Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 2.
