The SHIM6 protocol is an Internet Layer shim computing shim defined in RFC 5533. Architecture The SHIM6 architecture defines SHIM6 Failure Detection and Locator Pair Exploration functions. The first is used to detect outages through the path defined by the current locator pair for a communication. To achieve this, hints provided by upper protocols such as Transmission Control Protocol TCP are used, or specific SHIM6 packet probes. The second function is used to determine valid locator pairs that could be used when an outage is detected. The ability to change locators while a communication is being held introduces security problems, so mechanisms based on applying cryptography to the address generation process Cryptographically Generated Addresses , CGA , or on bounding the addresses to the prefixes assigned to a host through a hash Hash based address es, HBA have been defined. These approaches are not feasible for IPv4 because of the short address length 32 bits . An implementation of shim6 in the Linux kernel called http inl.info.ucl.ac.be softwares linshim6 LinShim6 is now available. References C. de Launois and M.

There are a variety of tunnel brokers that provide their own implementation s based on different business goals. For example, one tunnel broker Product business product on the market is called gogoSERVER formerly Gateway6 . ref name gateway6 Freenet6 was the first tunnel broker service, going into production in 1999. It was started as a project of Viagenie and then Hexago was spun off as a commercial company selling Gateway6 which powered Freenet6 as their flagship product.

Orphan date February 2009 Expert subject Computer networking date November 2008 In IPv6 networking, prefix delegation is used to assign a network address prefix to a user site, configuring the user s router computing router with the prefix to be used for each LAN. This is one of the methods for delegating IPv6 address prefixes to an IPv6 subscriber s network or site . It is described by RFC 3769. With the advent of IPv6 protocol, there is a need for a delegation mechanism which will automate the process of configuring networking equipment with appropriate prefixes at the customer s site. Though IPv6 enables simple and automatic host configuration it does not provide specification to automatically delegate a prefix to routers. DHCPv6 is used for the automatic configuration of IPv6 nodes. In the DHCPv6 protocol DHCPv6 servers send the network configuration parameters to IPv6 node networking node s.

IPv6 transition mechanisms 4in6 refers to tunneling of IPv4 in IPv6 . It is an Internet interoperation mechanism allowing Internet Protocol version 4 IPv4 to be used in an IPv6 only network. 4in6 uses tunneling to encapsulate IPv4 traffic over configured IPv6 tunnels as defined in RFC 2473. 4in6 tunnels are usually manually configured but they can be automated using protocols such as Tunnel Setup Protocol TSP to allow easy connection to a tunnel broker .

Image NAT64.svg thumb NAT64 and DNS64. IPv6 transition mechanisms NAT64 is a mechanism to allow IPv6 hosts to communicate with IPv4 servers. The NAT64 server is the endpoint for at least one IPv4 address and an IPv6 network segment of 32 bits for instance code 64 ff9b 96 code , see RFC 6052, RFC 6146 . The IPv6 client embeds the IPv4 address it wishes to communicate with using these bits, and sends its packets to the resulting address. The NAT64 server then creates a Network address translation NAT mapping between the IPv6 and the IPv4 address, allowing them to communicate. ref name RFC6146 RFC 6146 Stateful NAT64 Network Address and Protocol Translation from IPv6 Clients to IPv4 Servers ref Principle of operation Very simplistic NAT64 setup can be thought as a network device a router with at least two interfaces. One of this interfaces is connected to IPv4 network, and another is connected to IPv6 network. The network configured in a way that packets from IPv6 network to the IPv4 network get routed through this router. The router itself performs all the necessary translations needed to transfer packets from IPv6 network into the IPv4 network, and vice versa. The translation isn t symmetric, as IPv6 address space is a lot larger than IPv4 address space compare 2 sup 128 sup for IPv6 and 2 sup 32 sup for IPv4 , so no one to one address mapping is possible. Therefore, in order to be able to perform the translation, NAT64 is required to keep the IPv6 to IPv4 address mapping. Such an address ... , or more frequently is created automatically when the first packet from IPv6 network reaches NAT64 ... servers to allow them to be reached by remote IPv6 only clients. Stateful translation is suitable for deployment at the client side or at the service provider, allowing IPv6 only client hosts to reach ... by IPv6 hosts.
