 Week Six: Internet Protocol version Six (IPv6).


This week six topic focused on the fundamental concepts of Internet Protocol version six (IPv6), describing IPv6 practices, and the implementation of Pv6 in a Transmission Control Protocol/ Interprotocol (TCP/IP) network design. The Internet Protocol version four (IPv4) was developed for the purpose of assigning Internet Protocol addresses. IPv4 was developed to handled IP addresses for the foreseeable future, unfortunately, it turned out that wasn’t the case as the traffic (more computers became available in homes and smaller businesses) on the air wave begin too much to handle.

 The IPv6 was developed as the replacement for IPv4. IPv6 comes with tremendous benefits that IPv4 didn’t had, and one of those benefits that IPv6 come with has to do with its pool of unlimitedly IP address. IPv4 is stay in used at this current moment as IPv6 translation begin slowly into replacing IPv4. There is no comparison whatsoever between IPv4 and IPv6 in this current moment and in the future because it’s a matter of time for IPv4 to be in the review mirror. IPv6 wasn’t just developed to extend IP addresses alone, but also to strengthen “security by making the Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) protocol support a standard part of every IPv6 stack.”

This doesn’t mean that IPsec must be use, but it is a standard that has been recommended for all manufactures to support IPsec just in case a user decide to use it. Moreover, the benefit for using IPsec is that every data (packet) you send out from your system are going to be secure (encrypted). The following show the difference in IP addressing between IPv6 and IPv4: an IPv4 address is written using four octets separated by three periods as follow:192.198.1.5), and meanwhile an IPv6 is a combinations of digits and letters and it’s consist into eight groups and separated by eight colons as follow: 2301:5d10:2j11:5f20:j16e:mtf1:3356:6df7. “Octets are done” since IPv6 has 128-bits of IP addresses.

There is not guarantee that IPv6 won’t turned to be as IPv4 has because as the world population grow – which means one thing, more computers. The question that developers and the public should be asking is that will IPv6 be able to handle the IP addressing in the nearer future as it was once thought of with IPv4? The needs for more IP addresses come when more and more computers become available to 90 percent of the world population.

 Hybrid Cloud and Multi-Cloud Networking Objectives: Hybrid Cloud and Multi-Cloud Networking, The Different Between Virtual Private Network and Direct Connect. 1.       Hybrid Cloud and Multi-Cloud Networking The purpose for this blog article is to discuss some helpful tips regarding hybrid cloud and multi-cloud networking, and the differences between VPN (Virtual Private Network) and Direct Connect – the important role both methods play in connecting network. A hybrid cloud is a network infrastructure that exists in two different places – on-prem and in the cloud. Like hybrid clouds is multi-cloud which is a network infrastructure that’s dedicated to two or many different platforms like, AWS (Amazon Web Service), GCP (Google Cloud Platform), or Microsoft Azure and Salesforce. With all these different platforms, one could wonder about the notable complexity in making these different network services and tools to communicate to and assist each other. The question then is, so why wil

 Threats to Cloud Security.   Cloud computing is on the rise and becoming popular in the public and business enterprises sector. Many CSPs (Cloud Service Providers) like, Microsoft Azure, AWS (Amazon Web Service), and GCP (Google Cloud Platform) are offering their clients and users the opportunity to migrate the operations to the cloud by subscribing services () that fits their operation needs. There are many activities involved with migrating to the cloud that are important for the public and business enterprises to understand before making such leap (migrate). Speaking of migrating, the term security is one of the most critical aspects that concerns cybersecurity team members, and all proper measures must be taken seriously. The uprising of cyber threats to cloud computing increases by the day just as cloud computing becomes more and more popular. The following are lists of threats to cloud security: 1.       Data Breach - regardless of whether data is accessible throu

BSIT 400 - Cloud Computing and Governance.  Migration to the Cloud Technology has transformed and revolutionized our ways of achieving and accomplishing dreams and goals since its existence. The introduction of cloud computing has taken it even further. The purpose for this week three blog topic is center around “Migration to the Cloud.” There are a variety of contents and activities involved with cloud migration, and it’s imperative for one to fully understand all these contents and activities involved for a smooth transition. Some of these contents are but not limited to, Migration Planning, Migration Execution, Deployment Testing and Validation, Cloud Agility, and Planning for Problem. This week three blog is going to focuses on the following contents and activities: 1.       Migration Planning a.        Cloud Migration Phases – this activity involved completing the most important phases contents which are Planning, migrating, validating, and managing.
