Outline

• Introduction• Background knowledge• Stateless Address AutoConfiguration(SLAAC)

• SLAAC operation behaviors over SDN• Experiment results• Conclusion

Introduction

• IPv6 is necessary for end-to-end communication.• SDN enables infrastructure flexibility and both play into network

agility.

4

Background knowledge

• Stateless Address AutoConfiguration• RS(Router Solicitation)• RA((Router Advertisement)

• Demo• Packet tracer

5

SLAAC operation behaviors over SDN

RS Packet-In Packet-Out

Packet-InPacket-OutRA

6

Experiment results

• OpenFlow whitelist policy (0:01:50)

7

Conclusion

• IPv6 SDN can minimize many hardware restrictions and provide programmable network topologies to support variables services.

• OpenFlow-based SDN environment can secure the IPv6 deployment using whitelist mechanism.

• Self Conclusion• whitelist policy scenarios?
