IPv6 enables you to chain extension headers together by using the next header field.
The next header field, located in the IPv6 header, indicates to the router which
extension header to expect next. If there are no more extension headers, the next
header field indicates the upper-layer header (TCP header, UDP header, ICMPv6
header, an encapsulated IP packet, or other items).
IPv6 Addressing
IPv6 increases the size of the IP address from the 32 bits found in IPv4 to 128 bits.
This increased size provides for a broader range of addressing hierarchies and a
much larger number of addressable nodes.
In addition to the increased size, IPv6 addresses can be of different scopes that
categorize what types of applications are suitable for the address. IPv6 does not
support broadcast addresses, but uses multicast addresses to serve this role. In
addition, IPv6 also defines a new type of address called
anycast
.
Address Representation
IPv6 addresses consist of eight hexadecimal groups. Each hexadecimal group,
separated by a colon (:), consists of a 16-bit hexadecimal value. The following is an
example of the IPv6 format:
xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
A group of
xxxx
represents the 16-bit hexadecimal value. Each individual
x
represents
a 4-bit hexadecimal value. The following is an example of a possible IPv6 address:
4FDE:0000:0000:0002:0022:F376:FF3B:AB3F
NOTE:
Hexadecimal letters in IPv6 addresses are not case sensitive.
IPv6 Address Compression
IPv6 addresses often contain consecutive hexadecimal fields of zeros. To simplify
address entry, you can use two colons (::) to represent the consecutive fields of zeros
when typing the IPv6 address. Table 8 on page 128 provides compressed IPv6 address
format examples.
