Exercice 1: TD Ipv6 - 6 Novembre 2012

This document contains an exercise on IPv6 addressing and compression as well as exercises on link-local unicast addresses, solicited-node multicast addresses, and IPv6 multicast group identifiers. It also includes calculations of how long IPv4 and IPv6 address reserves would last if allocated at different rates.

2001:0db8:0f3c:00d7:7dab:03d0:0000:00ff

Exercice 2
Write the Link-Local Unicast Address corresponding to the following MAC (Ethernet) interface address
00:0d:56:01:13:c9

Write the Solicited-Node Multicast Address corresponding to the same interface.

How many bits are used for the "group identifier" field in IPv6 multicast packets? Hence, how many groups
can be defined in IPv6?
Compare this number with:
- the maximum number of groups that could be defined in the IPv4 network (class D addresses)
- the overall number of addresses that exist in IPv4, regardless of their type.

Solution

EUI-64 Address:
02:0d:56:ff:fe:01:13:c9
1111 1110 10 + 54 zeros + EUI-64 Address
fe80:0000:0000:0000:020d:56ff:fe01:13c9 -> fe80::020d:56ff:fe01:13c9

Solicited-Node Multicast Address


ff02::1:ff01:13c9

Exercice 3
a) Si les adresses IPv4 étaient est allouées chaque nanoseconde, combien de temps la réserve
d'adresses durera-t-elle ?

b) Si un bloc d'un million d'adresses IPv6 est alloué chaque picoseconde, combien de temps la
réserve d'adresses durera-t-elle ?

Solution
- IPv4 : (2^32)/(10^9) = 4.295 secondes (moins de 5 secondes !)
- IPv6: With 16 bytes there are 2128 or 3. 4* 1038 addresses. If we allocate them at a
rate of 1018 per second, they will last for 1013 years. This number is 1000
times the age of the universe. Of course, the address space is not flat, so they
are not allocated linearly, but this calculation shows that even with an allocation
scheme with an efficiency of 1/1000 (0.1 percent), one will never run out.
