IPv6 (continued)
IPv5 exists and is known as the Streams 2 (ST2) Protocol:
- RFC 1819
- Operates at the same layer as IP
- Developed as an IP layer for real-time applications
- Includes QoS capabilities
IPv6 truly works on the finer aspects of IPv4.
Requires a dynamic environment:
- Many discovery options including:
- Autoconfiguration
- Finding the maximum path MTU
- Finding other workstations without ARP
- Finding routers
