This session is funded with a grant from ARIN. It is a two-hour webinar.
Dual Stack and Transition Mechanisms
Enterprises rarely switch over from IPv4 to IPv6 in one step. Generally, companies will run dual-stack for a time, where both IPv4 and IPv6 are available on devices. This doesn’t solve most of the problems IPv6 was designed to solve, so we will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of:
- Dual-stack
- NAT44
- Dual-stack Lite
- NAT64/DNS64
- 464xlat
- MAP-T
- MAP-E
- IPv6-Only
DHCPv6Although IPv6 provides new addressing possibilities (SLAAC), most enterprises will want to continue using DHCP — which is now DHCPv6. We will describe how a client finds a DHCPv6 server, what information it can request and expect back. We will compare DHCPv6 to SLAAC. We will discuss:
- DHCPv6 Solicit Advertise, Request, Reply
- DHCPv6 multicast addresses
- IA_NA, IA_PD
- Prefix “hints” to request the same prefix, or any prefix of a certain size
- Additional information (DNS, transition mechanism, etc.)
