0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 or ::1
IPv6 APIPA Range
FE80::1
Network address translation (NAT) -
The changing of an IP address as it progresses through a network, usually from private to public or vice versa.
Port address translation (PAT) -
Translation of port numbers from source to destination and vice versa.
Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) -
Link local address. Automatically assigned. Unable to communicate with the router
Extended unique identifier (EUI-64) - .
Extends the MAC address into a 64 bit value to Form half of an IPv6 address.
Multicast
One to many of many communication (only those who want it).
Unicast –
One to one communication
Anycast -
One to one of many communication (data is delivered only to the closest device with the correct anycast address).
Broadcast -
One to all communication
Link local -
Same as APIPA.
Default gateway -
The IP address of the device which provides a gateway out of the network. The router.
Classless (variable-length subnet mask(VLSM)-
Allow network administrators to define their own masks
Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation
efficient method of assigning IP addresses that improves address distribution and replaces the previous Class A, Class B and Class C networks system
Tunneling
6to4 addressing allows sending of IPv6 traffic over an IPv4 network. 4in6 does the opposite
Teredo tunneling
Windows. allow tunnelling of IPv6 through NATed IPv4 networks with no special routers needed.
Miredo tunneling
Linux/BSD/macOS. allow tunnelling of IPv6 through NATed IPv4 networks with no special routers needed.
Dual stack
Running both IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously.
Router advertisement -
IPv6 has no broadcast. this is managed by Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) using multicast.
Stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC) -
The automatic configuration of IP addresses in IPv6 (without a DHCP server).
Virtual IP (VIP) -
An IP address not associated with a physical network adapter.
Subinterfaces -
One physical network interface handling multiple VLANs.
RFC1918 -
Defines private IP address ranges.
