Internet Protocol v6 na UEM

Abstract

In the early 1990s, there was a huge explosion of the Internet, making the 32 bits used in the IP protocol insufficient to address every machine on the network. Over time, the trend was towards depletion of IP addresses. To alleviate this fact, the Internet Engeneering Task Force - IETF decided to work on the solution of the problem that would primarily be the redistribution of addresses, increasing the IP lifetime and providing time to create and implement a new solution. After several years of work by the IETF, a new protocol was arrived at, called Internet Protocol Next Generation or Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPng or IPv6). IPv6, in addition to having an IP size greater than 32 bits, 128 bits, its header was optimized, removing some obsolete fields and adding new fields and extension headers. Other changes served to make the work of network administrators easier, such as m, for example, the ability to self-configure the machines, which helps in the installation and configuration of a network with IPv6 support. The present work is constituted by a theoretical description of IPv6 and some basic concepts of networks related to it and presents a practical component that consists in the configuration of an IPv6 network and main internet applications that support IPv6 such as: Domain Name System (DNS ), Web Server, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Secure Shell (SSH) using an experimental network established for this purpose at the Centro de Informática at Universidade Eduardo Mondlane.
