An experience of using IPv6 protocol as support for the internet of things

The purpose of this experiment held at the Faculty of Applied Sciences (FCA) of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) was to set up on the data network the dual-stack Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) on servers and workstations. The experiment was ca...

description The purpose of this experiment held at the Faculty of Applied Sciences (FCA) of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) was to set up on the data network the dual-stack Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) on servers and workstations. The experiment was carried out by setting up a tunneling server to encapsulate the IPv6 addresses within IPv4 tunnels, since we do not have native connection of version 6 addresses. Both the outgoing and the incoming traffic were controlled through a firewall in the tunnel for providing better safety services. The main ones (such as name resolution, sending and receiving email, and web pages) were configured in order to understand the impact caused by the integration of these kinds of traffic on the network. The result was a higher speed in IPv6 traffic compared to IPv4, and friendly coexistence between these two versions and protocols. Although it is not possible to set up only the IPv6 on the data network, this experiment was valuable to better understand the operation of this new protocol and the needs concerning software and hardware

A experiência foi realizada montando-se um tunelamento para encapsular os endereços IPv6 dentro de tuneis IPv4 visto que não possuímos uma conexão nativa de endereços versão 6. Tanto o trânsito de saída como o de entrada foi controlado através de um firewall no túnel para melhorar a segurança dos serviços. Foram configurados os principais serviços como resolução de nomes, envio e recebimento de e-mail e páginas web de forma a entender os impactos na inserção desses tráfegos na rede. Como resultado, foi obtida uma velocidade maior nos tráfegos IPv6 em comparação com IPv4 e o convívio amigável entre as duas versões e protocolos. Mesmo não podendo ainda deixar configurado no ambiente somente o protocolo IPv6, a experiência serviu para entendermos melhor o funcionamento deste novo protocolo e as necessidades em termos de software e hardware Universidade Estadual de Campinas 2016-03-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Text Texto application/pdf https://econtents.sbu.unicamp.br/inpec/index.php/saberes/article/view/6930 10.20396/saberes.v1i1.6930 Revista Saberes Universitários; Vol. 1 No. 1 (2016); 92-107 Revista Saberes Universitários; v. 1 n. 1 (2016); 92-107 2447-9411 por https://econtents.sbu.unicamp.br/inpec/index.php/saberes/article/view/6930/2437 Brazil; Contemporany Brasil; Contemporâneo Copyright (c) 2016 Revista Saberes Universitários https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
