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

Tools Needed: TCPDUMP & WIRESHARK

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