Laboratory Work: For the lab work, one PC to one student either in virtual environment or real environment will be provided. Students will be divided into group of 3 students. The working environment and machine connectivity will look like the following:

Tools Needs: TCPDUMP & WIRESHARK, VMWare Environment, Linux/FreeBSD, Windows.
Lab 1: Enable IPv6 in Windows/Linux
Lab 2: IPv6 Header Analysis
Lab 3: IPv6 Packet analysis (neighbor/router solicitation/discovery)
Lab 4: Unicast Routing Implementation using Zebra-OSPF & OSPF phase analysis
Lab 5: Multicast Routing Implementation using XORP-PIM/SM & PIM/SM phase analysis
Lab 6: IPv6 DNS/WEB/Proxy implementation & test
Lab 7: Case Study
