Since we are running out of IPv4 addresses, in the future certain websites will only maintain IPv6 and the Internet becomes a dual IPv4/IPv6 network. This means that in order for a user to connect with your customers, co workers, users and to guarantee that your website remains easy to get to all Internet users, in particular in rising markets; you need to make sure you also have IPv6. And that your network and IT personnel are aware and prepared for the changeover. Time is running out. There still will be ipv4 addresses in 2020 or even longer and the devices using those addresses will continue working at the same time but in a improved version IPv6. For operators it will be hard and expensive to get new IPv4 addresses to increase their networks, while the cost of supervision on the existing IPv4s also increases. That is why big companies, such as Face book, Bing and Google, will face the dilemma before end users, because at some time or another they too will need to purchase new servers. Some major internet companies has been known to say that users will not be affected at this time. But the circumstances might not remain the same. The end user may find some sites and email addresses difficult to get to, if they use only IPv6 and user’s service provider only has IPv4 addresses. Taking care of this problem now is the best proactive approach could ask for.
While the TCP/IP protocols and the Internet are different, their evolution are most definitely parallel. This section will discuss some of the history.
Phase 1 will include all United Technologies enterprise systems, all E-Mail servers, and many web sites. The goal is to make many external facing United Technologies services available via IPv6 by June 30, 2011. A large number of hosts in distributed networks should also be working on IPv6 and form a test base. A list of all external facing servers will be developed in Phase 1, in order to plan the remaining Phase 2 work, and deadlines for all servers will be set.
6. Do research to determine the accuracy of this prediction: “Today, almost everything on the Internet is reachable over IPv4. In a few years, both IPv4 and IPv6 will be required for universal
The purpose of this paper is to present a proposal to implement Internet Protocol version four (IPv4) also known as Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) structure as our primary means of communication within our network infrastructure. We are currently using a legacy mainframe system that limits are current means of network connectivity with other evolving network systems and it is in our best interest that we look into the future as well as keep up with changing times as Information Technicians. I will present a detailed analysis of the TCP/IP brief history, understanding of IPv4 addresses, subnetting, configuration, and the benefits of using the TCP/IP structure. This will greatly increase the overall success rate of our business
Internet Protocol version 4 is the current standard “IP” protocol used with Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), which is the protocol for Internet addressing. Like the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model, TCP/IP has its own model. The TCP/IP network model represents reality in the world, whereas the OSI model represents an ideal. The TCP/IP network model has four basic layers. The first layer, Network interface layer, deals with all physical components of network connectivity between the network and the IP protocol. Next the Internet layer contains all functionality that manages the movement of data between two network devices over a routed network. Then the Transport layer manages the flow of traffic between two hosts or devices, ensuring that data arrives at the application on the host for which it is targeted. And last, the Application layer acts as final endpoints at either end of a communication session between two network hosts (Tetz).
one network to another as necessary. All the networks connected to the Internet speak IP,
Throughout this report, I will discuss recommendations for a network topology that should be used, the network architecture, and the advantages and drawbacks that the network will provide for the organization. These advantages and drawbacks will not only affect the company but they will also affect the customer and the way the clientele corresponds with the company.
Our team recommends the following course of action. Utilize a network architecture and topology that follows close to the following diagram (Diagram 1: Network Layout). The topology is a mixture of multiple star-ring networks. NAT would take place at the central firewall directly connected to the internet. This would allow the incoming and outgoing information to be sorted correctly and ensure that it reaches the correct destination.
In using NAT, hosts on the Internet appear to be communicating directly with the NAT device rather than with the actual host inside the private network. Inbound packets are sent to the NAT device's IP address and the device changes the destination packet header from its own Internet address to the private network address of the true destination host. The result is that, in theory, a single globally unique IP address is used for hundreds, thousands, or even millions of privately addressed hosts. In practice, however, there are drawbacks. For one thing, many Internet protocols and applications depend on the network being truly end-to-end, with packets forwarded entirely unmodified from the source to the destination.
