Assignment 2: LASA 1 IP NetworkingIn this assignment, you will write a paper in which you recommend whether you feel your network is ready to transition to IPv6.The IP is the basic communications protocol that all Internet traffic communicates with; essentially, the entire Internet is built on it. For the past two decades, we have used IPv4. In June 2012, there was an official worldwide release of an upgrade to IPv6. Routers, bridges, switches, and all other equipment (including operating systems) across the world had to be compatible with this version to ensure cross compatibility. The new version minimizes the size of packet headers (therefore, sending less traffic), supports multicasting, allows for stateless auto configuration, and, perhaps most importantly, adds IP address capability. Under IPv4, there were about 4.3 billion IP addresses available. Under IPv6, 340 trillion trillion (yes, two trillions) addresses available. This removed the urgent need for more IP addresses across the globe.Tasks:Your boss has read about IPv6 and wants to know whether the network you oversee is ready for the transition. Prepare a response based on the networking and computer operating systems used in your facility. In your response, include the following:Identify the computer operating systems and networking systems used in the company.Explain the pros and cons of IPv6 over the use of IPv4. Compare and contrast the two technologies.Identify if the organization is currently ready for IPv6. Justify your answer with research.Your company is assigned a 206.206.155.0/24 CIDR block by your ISP. Below is a CIDR block list for your reference. Your company consists of four different networks:Network A: 50 usersNetwork B: 26 usersNetwork C: 12 usersNetwork D: 10 usersDescribe how you will create four subnets and allocate enough IP addresses for the users within the network.CIDR BLOCKS AND NUMBER OF HOST IDS PER SEGMENTCIDR blockNumber of equivalentClass C networksNumber of network ID bitsNumber of hostID bitsTotal number of host addresses per segment= (2 ^# of host ID bits)Number of usable host addresses per segment= (2 ^# of host ID bits) – 2/271/8 Class C2753230/261/4 Class C2666462/251/2 Class C257128126/241 Class C248256254/232 Class C239512510/224 Class C22101,0241,022/218 Class C21112,0482,046/2016 Class C20124,0964,094/1932 Class C19138,1928,190/1864 Class C181416,38416,382/17128 Class C171532,76832,766/16256 Class C = 1 Class B161665,53665,534/15512 Class C = 2 Class B1517131,072131,070/141024 Class C=4 Class B1418262,144262,142/132048 Class C=8 Class B1319524,288524,286Submission Details:By Wednesday, March 2, 2016, prepare a 5- to 7-page report.
