The roots of the current Internet stretch back over twenty years to its beginnings in academic institutions. The fact that it has been able to adapt and scale to today’s global network is a testament to the solid design principles used in its creation. However, as the number of Internet nodes continues to grow and new demands are expected on it as we evolve our 2G/3G networks to LTE, the current IPv4-NAT architecture no longer suffices and we must consider a transition to an updated protocol. This course explores the IPv6 protocol, which brings not only a vast address space to address millions of billions of network nodes but also a bag of new tricks. Streamlined and simplified, IPv6 incorporates a number of companion protocols into its core specification. This course covers these general topics as well as the adoption of IPv6 in LTE Networks.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to: • Sketch LTE-EPC network architecture and identify the role of IPv6 • Analyze the limitations of IPv4 networks • List the key aspects of IPv6 • Sketch the IPv6 addressing architecture and the new types of IP addresses • Describe the Plug-n-Play capabilities of IPv6 • Describe wireless mobility solutions in IPv6 • Identify the impact of IPv6 on related protocols • Describe the use of dual stack IPv4/IPv6 in LTE Networks • Discuss the different UE IP allocation schemes • Describe some IPv4 and IPv6 interworking scenarios
Intended Audience
This is an introductory course and does not assume any previous knowledge of IPv6. It is suitable for wireless professionals who want to gain awareness of IPv4’s real limitations, the key issues with IPv6’s new capabilities, and how to transition the networks. The course assumes basic knowledge of LTE EPC and the LTE Network Architecture and functions.
Suggested Prerequisites
• LTE Overview (eLearning) • LTE SAE Evolved Packet Core (EPC) Overview (eLearning)
