ipv4 vs ipv6



IPv4

Addresses are 32 bits (4 bytes) in length.
Address (A) resource records in DNS to map host names to IPv4 addresses.
Pointer (PTR) resource records in the IN-ADDR.ARPA DNS domain to map IPv4 addresses to host names
IPSec is optional and should be supported externally
Header does not identify packet flow for QoS handling by routers
Both routers and the sending host fragment packets.
Header includes a checksum.
Header includes options.
ARP uses broadcast ARP request to resolve IP to MAC/Hardware address.
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) manages membership in local subnet groups.
Broadcast addresses are used to send traffic to all nodes on a subnet.
Configured either manually or through DHCP.
Must support a 576-byte packet size (possibly fragmented).

IPv6
Addresses are 128 bits (16 bytes) in length
Address (AAAA) resource records in DNS to map host names to IPv6 addresses.
Pointer (PTR) resource records in the IP6.ARPA DNS domain to map IPv6 addresses to host names.
IPSec support is not optional
Header contains Flow Label field, which Identifies packet flow for QoS handling by router.
Routers do not support packet fragmentation. Sending host fragments packets
Header does not include a checksum.
Optional data is supported as extension headers.
Multicast Neighbor Solicitation messages resolve IP addresses to MAC addresses.
Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) messages manage membership in local subnet groups.
IPv6 uses a link-local scope all-nodes multicast address.
Does not require manual configuration or DHCP.
Must support a 1280-byte packet size (without fragmentation).

HOW A CAMPUS NETWORK IS DESIGNED

HOW A CAMPUS NETWORK IS DESIGNED  WHAT IS CAMPUS NETWORK? The people new to the networking world they must know what is a campus network..According to my point of view a campus network is an autonomous network under the  management of a single entity. THE NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE: To design a network, your first step is information gathering, planning   the network based on the gathered information. The next step is network designing and modeling .There are numerous technologies which you can use to build your network but challenge is to choose the technology that suits best with your goal. THINKS WE SHOULD CONSIDER WHILE DESIGNING: ü   Avoid daisy chain network, build star network. ü   Make the design modular ü   Type of media between buildings. ü   Security   measures. ü   LOS   for wireless   transmission. ü   Build separate edge and core networks. ü   Always route into...

Transmission Media..

Transmission medium is the physical path between the transmitter and receiver. Factors to Select Transmission Media Ø   Data Rate and Bandwidth Ø   Distance and Attenuation Ø   Interference Characteristics Ø   Number of receivers Ø   Cost - Remember cabling is a long term investment! Guided Media Sub-types Ø   Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable Ø   Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cable Ø   Coaxial Cable Ø   Fiber Optic Cable Un-guided Media Sub-types Ø   Terrestrial microwave transmission Ø   Satellite transmission Ø   Broadcast radio Ø   Infrared Twisted Pair Wires Ø   Consists of two insulated copper wires arranged in a regular spiral pattern to minimize the electromagnetic interference between adjacent pairs Ø   Often used at customer facilities and also over distances to carry voice as well as data communications Ø   Low frequency transmission medium Twisted...

TCP vs UDP

TCP vs UDP Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) are the major protocols operating at Transport Layer. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) operate very differently and you can choose Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) depending on your requirement. TCP (transfer control protocol) UDP (user data gram protocol) Transmission Control   Protocol (TCP) is a connection oriented protocol, which means   the devices   should   open a connection   before   transmitting   data and should close the connection gracefully   after   transmitting   the data. User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is Datagram oriented protocol with no overhead for opening, maintaining, and closing a connection. Transmission Control   Protocol (TCP) assure reliable delivery of data to the destination. ...

IPv6 taking over IPv4

It has now been close to 30 years since the current Internet Protocol Version 4 - IPv4 - was implemented as the underlying protocol for the Internet. While it has served its purpose admirably for all these years, with an ever expanding user base and a growing number of IP-enabled devices, there are serious concerns about it's limited feature set as well as robustness not to mention the all important factor, scalability. The Internet Protocol Version - IPv6 - is being developed as a critical technology meant to address all those concerns. It is expected to not only provide better services for existing technologies and applications but also meet growing demands of new devices like cellular phones, and IP-based services, such as online gaming and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). Every computer or online device that needs to connect to the Internet requires a globally unique IP address. IPv4 uses 32 bits for an IP address that allows about 4 billion unique IP addresses. When I...

OSI MODEL

OSI model (open system interconnection) The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model (ISO/IEC 7498-1) is a product of the Open Systems Interconnection effort at the International Organization for Standardization. It is a prescription of characterizing and standardizing the functions of a communications system in terms of abstraction layers. Similar communication functions are grouped into logical layers. A layer serves the layer above it and is served by the layer below it. For example, a layer that provides error-free communications across a network provides the path needed by applications above it, while it calls the next lower layer to send and receive packets that make up the contents of that path. Two instances at one layer are connected by a horizontal connection on that layer. OSI model  Data unit Layer Function Host layers Data 7.  Application Network process to application 6....
