Analysis of the Security IPv6 and Comparative Study between Two Routing Protocols Oriented to IPv6

Abstract:

In the next years, IPv6 will inevitably replace the IPv4 protocol. Although, taking consciousness about technical details and aspects of security of this "new" protocol is still being poor in network administrators from different companies in the world. Many security attacks performed in IPv4, exploiting vulnerabilities in a certain network, are also feasible in IPv6. That is why we proposed to evaluate the response from two IPv6 protocols against security attacks. Designed and implemented two virtual networks conformed by routers and hosts. The first one was configured with OPSFv3 protocol and the second one with RIPng. I used server-client model, where clients share information with the server databases, interacting with the services. The implemented model network simulated a business environment, where each node connected to the network represented different branches and matrices that a company could have. Do different types of attacks to the network and then we measure the response from both, taking into consideration the following parameters: Availability, integrality and confidentiality. Statistical data of the tests, which helped us to have a better idea about how security operates in IPv6. These results could help as a source of information for network administrators, so they could know more details about security in IPv6.
