Workshop on IPv6
Thursday, Feb. 15 - Friday, Feb. 16, 2024
Organizers Venue
- New York State Education and Research Network (NYSERNET) Manhattan College
- Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) 4513 Manhattan College Pkwy, Bronx, NY
- Energy Sciences Network (ESnet)
- University of South Carolina (USC)
Overview
This hands-on workshop will cover IPv6 fundamentals and practical deployments. It will start with the basics of IPv6, including IPv6 addressing, global unicast address (GUI), link-local address (LLA), and IPv6 multicast address. The workshop will also cover techniques used to enable auto-configuration of IPv6 addresses: stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC), stateless dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), and stateful DHCP. Then, the workshop will discuss static and dynamic routing on IPv6 networks, covering both intra-domain and inter-domain routing. Finally, the workshop will cover monitoring and configuration of end systems, e.g., configuration of DNS and HTTP servers, access control lists, and perfSONAR. Concepts will be reinforced with hands-on laboratory experiments.Outcomes
By the end of this workshop, attendees will:
- Understand IPv6 addresses.
- Deploy and operate IPv6 networks by statically configuring IPv6 addresses on routers, DNS servers, Web servers, and other end devices.
- Describe the operation of the Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC).
- Understand the operation of stateless and stateful DHCPv6.
- Deploy and operate IPv6 networks with DHCP and SLAAC.
- Explain dynamic intra-domain routing with OSPFv3 on an IPv6 network.
- Explain dynamic inter-domain routing with BGP on an IPv6 network.
- Deploy and operate an IPv6 network with dynamic intra- and inter-domain routing.
- Understand how perfSONAR operates. Monitor the performance of a network using perfSONAR.
Intended Audience
The tutorial is targeted to IT educators and professionals such as system administrators, network engineers, and practitioners.
