This session will discuss the role of a Content Delivery Network (CDN) and its role in modern network infrastructure as it impacts IPv6 and IPv6 Extension Headers. CDNs play a crucial role in optimizing web content delivery by reducing latency and improving performance. Here's a breakdown of the key components 1. Edge Servers (or Cache […]

Enhancements for Neighbour Discovery
Neighbour Discovery for IPv6 forms the cornerstone of efficient network communication in the IPv6 realm. It facilitates address resolution, duplicate address detection, and router discovery, making it indispensable for seamless communication across IPv6 networks. However, as enterprises migrate to IPv6, the conventional ND6 protocol may face challenges in terms of scalability and performance. To address […]
Extension Headers testing in Cloud
The goal of this session is to understand the state of the art in Extension Header testing and support in the Internet. Using PDM, we conduct measurement experiments in different scenarios on the internet, such as how various CDNs and Cloud platforms support Extension Headers.
Extension Headers-PDM results
The goal of this session is to understand the state of the art in Extension Header testing and support in the Internet. Using PDM we conduct measurement experiments in different scenarios in the internet such as how various CDNs support Extension Headers. As part of our ongoing collaboration with academia in India, NITK Surathkal students […]
Segment Routing in IPv6 (SRv6)
Segment Routing (SR) architecture seeks to forward data packets on a network based on source routes as encoded in the data packet itself. This session will introduce the basic concepts of segment routing and then go in details of SRv6 (Segment Routing over IPv6 dataplane) technology. Find out about the IPv6 extension header and the […]

ULA in IPv6 Enterprise Networks
In the process of planning for an IPv6 deployment, some desire to create a design analogous to private RFC1918 deployments. In this webinar we will discuss the structural differences between technologies such as RFC1918 and unique local addressing (ULA). We will address topics such as why they aren't the same, where they make sense, where […]
6LoWPAN Trace Reading
The 6LoWPAN adaptation layer defines compression, fragmentation and reassembly, and frame delivery mechanisms for IPv6 datagrams. As specified in RFC 4944, when an entire IPv6 datagram fits within a single IEEE Std 802.15.4 frame, then the datagram is transmitted unfragmented without adding a fragmentation header in the LoWPAN encapsulation. On the opposite hand, if the […]
IPv6/Addressing & Architecture: AWS
In this session, we will provide an overview of how you can use IPv6 on AWS today - how to enable and migrate workloads at scale from IPv4-only to either dual-stack or IPv6-only architectures. We will cover the Amazon VPC IPv6 capabilities, how you can achieve IPv6 connectivity on AWS and hybrid network, and we’ll […]
IPv6 Extension Headers: Usage and Testing
IPv6 Extension Headers are an important part of the IPv6 protocol. In this session, we will learn: What are the frequently-used Extension Headers? What is the basic architecture? How are they used? What is the nature of the controversy surrounding them? We will also present the results of our testing of IPv6 Extension Headers on […]
