You are working as an administrator for a company that is employing the EIGRP,
OSPFv2 and BGP routing protocols to support their network infrastructure and
connectivity to external networks. So far the network has been using IPv4. However, in
the course of reorganising and updating the network infrastructure to make it future proof
and improve the network performance, it has been decided to move the network across to
IPv6. Due to the significant differences between IPv4 and IPv6 you have been tasked
with the job to investigate and write a report on how this change will affect the network
with respect to the IP routing protocols used at the moment and make recommendations
regarding suitable alternative protocols where needed.
The report should
Discuss the major differences between IPv4 and IPv6
Investigate to what extent the used IPv4 routing protocols support IPv6
Review, discuss and recommend suitable alternative routing protocols to replace
currently used IPv4 routing protocols so the new network implementation will
fully support IPv6
When writing the report please ensure that all of your work is word processed in a format
which can be easily understood by someone without detailed network knowledge.
Any information used in your report taken from other sources should be clearly referenced using the Harvard method
Criteria
A
Differences between IPv4 and IPv6
Details of major differences between IPv4 and IPv6.
B
Discussion on the level of support of IPv6 for
currently used routing protocols
Critical analysis of currently used routing protocols and their
support for IPv6.
C
Review of IPv6 routing protocols
Review of available routing protocols that support IPv6
D
Recommendation
Based on review of available routing that support IPv6
recommend suitable replacement protocols and provide
justification for your choice.
E
Presentation of the work
The work must be presented in a suitable word processed
format and Harvard referencing must be used for all
information taken from other sources.
