  • Empirical Analysis of the Effects and the Mitigation of Ipv4 Address Exhaustion
    TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT BERLIN FAKULTÄT FÜR ELEKTROTECHNIK UND INFORMATIK LEHRSTUHL FÜR INTELLIGENTE NETZE UND MANAGEMENT VERTEILTER SYSTEME Empirical Analysis of the Effects and the Mitigation of IPv4 Address Exhaustion vorgelegt von M.Sc. Philipp Richter geboren in Berlin von der Fakultät IV – Elektrotechnik und Informatik der Technischen Universität Berlin zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades DOKTOR DER NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN -DR. RER. NAT.- genehmigte Dissertation Promotionsausschuss: Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sebastian Möller, Technische Universität Berlin Gutachterin: Prof. Anja Feldmann, Ph.D., Technische Universität Berlin Gutachter: Prof. Vern Paxson, Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley Gutachter: Prof. Steve Uhlig, Ph.D., Queen Mary University of London Tag der wissenschaftlichen Aussprache: 2. August 2017 Berlin 2017 Abstract IP addresses are essential resources for communication over the Internet. In IP version 4, an address is represented by 32 bits in the IPv4 header; hence there is a finite pool of roughly 4B addresses available. The Internet now faces a fundamental resource scarcity problem: The exhaustion of the available IPv4 address space. In 2011, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) depleted its pool of available IPv4 addresses. IPv4 scarcity is now reality. In the subsequent years, IPv4 address scarcity has started to put substantial economic pressure on the networks that form the Internet. The pools of available IPv4 addresses are mostly depleted and today network operators have to find new ways to satisfy their ongoing demand for IPv4 addresses. Mitigating IPv4 scarcity is not optional, but mandatory: Networks facing address shortage have to take action in order to be able to accommodate additional subscribers and customers. Thus, if not confronted, IPv4 scarcity has the potential to hinder further growth of the Internet.

Write the address range and broadcast address for the following subnet: Subnet: 192.168.1.128 / 255.255.255.224 Address Range? Subnet Broadcast Address? 2. Check your answer with those provided by the instructor. If it is different, review the method of how you derived the answer with your group and correct your understanding. LESSON 3.2 98-366 Networking Fundamentals IPv4 A connectionless protocol for use on packet-switched Link Layer networks like the Ethernet At the core of standards-based internetworking methods of the Internet Network addressing architecture redesign is underway via classful network design, Classless Inter-Domain Routing, and network address translation (NAT) . Microsoft Windows uses TCP/IP for IP version 4 (a networking protocol suite) to communicate over the Internet with other computers. It interacts with Windows naming services like WINS and security technologies. IPsec helps facilitate the successful and secure transfer of IP packets between computers. An IPv4 address shortage has been developing. LESSON 3.2 98-366 Networking Fundamentals Network Classes Provide a method for interacting with the network All networks have different sizes so IP address space is divided in different classes to meet different requirements. Each class fixes a boundary between the network prefix and the host within the 32-bit address.

  • Configuring TCP/IP
    C h a p t e r Configuring TCP/IP THE FOLLOWING 70-741 EXAM OBJECTIVES ARE COVERED IN THIS CHAPTER: 1 ✓ Configure IPv4 and IPv6 addressing ■ Configure IP address options ■ Configure IPv4 or IPv6 subnetting ■ Configure supernetting ■ Configure interoperability between IPv4 and IPv6 ■ Configure ISATAP ■ Configure Teredo COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL c01.indd 08/14/2017 Page 1 In this chapter, I will discuss the most important protocol used in a Microsoft Windows Server 2016 network: T ransmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) . TCP/IP is actually two protocols bundled together: the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP). TCP/IP is a suite of protocols developed by the US Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Projects Agency in 1969. This chapter is divided into two main topics: First I’ll talk about TCP/IP version 4, and then I’ll discuss TCP/IP version 6. TCP/IP version 4 is still used in Windows Server 2016, and it was the primary version of TCP/IP in all previous versions of Windows. However, TCP/IP version 6 is the latest release of TCP/IP, and it has been incorporated into Windows Server 2016. Understanding TCP/IP I mentioned that TCP/IP is actually two protocols bundled together: TCP and IP. These pro- tocols sit on a four-layer TCP/IP model. Details of the TCP/IP Model The four layers of the TCP/IP model are as follows (see Figure 1.1 ): Application Layer The Application layer is where the applications that use the protocol stack reside. These applications include File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

  • Understanding Ip Addressing
    52-20-31 DATA COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT UNDERSTANDING IP ADDRESSING Gilbert Held INSIDE The IP Addressing Scheme; Dotted Decimal Notation; Basic Workstation Configuration; Reserved Addresses; Subnetting; Multiple Interface Addresses; Address Resolution; ICMP OVERVIEW This article focuses on the mechanism that enables IP datagrams to be delivered to unique or predefined groups of hosts. That mechanism is the addressing method used by the Internet Protocol, commonly referred to as IP addressing. Under the current version of Internet Protocol, IPv4, 32-bit binary numbers are used to identify the source and destination address in each datagram. It was not until RFC 760 that the Internet Protocol as we know it was defined and the next IP-related RFC — RFC 791 that obsoleted RFC 760 — included the concept of IP address classes. Another key IP-related addressing RFC is RFC 950, which introduced the concept of subnetting. Subnetting represents a method for conserving IP network addresses and is described and discussed in detail later in this article. Although one normally associates a host with a distinct IP address, in actuality IP addresses are used by the Internet Protocol to identify dis- tinct device interfaces. That is, each interface on a device has a unique PAYOFF IDEA IP address. This explains how a The Internet Protocol (IP) represents the network router with multiple interfaces can layer of the TCP/IP protocol suite. It was devel- receive communications addressed oped as a mechanism to interconnect packet- to the device on different router switched TCP/IP networks.
