Module 10

Essential Question: What is the IPv6 addressing used for?

Mastery Objectives:

• SWBAT explain the need for IPv6 addressing.

• SWBAT explain how to represent IPv6 addresses.

Migration Techniques for IPv6:

Dual Stacking - Dual stack allows IPv4 and IPv6 to coexist on the same network segment. Dual stack devices run both IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks simultaneously. 

Tunneling - Tunneling is a method of transporting an IPv6 packet over an IPv4 network. The IPv6 packet is encapsulated inside an IPv4 packet, similar to other types of data. 

Translation - Network Address Translation 64 (NAT64) allows IPv6-enabled devices to communicate with IPv4-enabled devices using a translation technique similar to NAT for IPv4. 

Rules for IPv6:

1. Omit leading zeros

2. Eliminate all zeros and replace with double colon ::

You can only do this once and it should replace the first set of 0000:0000
