Abstract
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) signifies the latest version of IP, the Internet Protocol. The communication protocol allocates an identification, as well as a location system of computers on the network. One of the key protocols in IPv6 is the neighbour discovery protocol (NDP). The NDP covers many functions including the discovery of nodes on a similar link, the detection of addresses that are duplicate, and the detection of routers. Due to the importance of NDP, it makes it susceptible to several attacks including denial of service (DoS); Denial of Service attack. Many mechanisms proposed to secure NDP. However, these mechanisms are still vulnerable. This paper reviews the significance of NDP and presents the advantage and disadvantage of each proposed mechanisms. Moreover, the SeND mechanism was implemented and the results were compared with the original NDP. This paper discusses the requirements of features of the proposed mechanism in securing the IPv6 NDP processes.
期刊介绍:
The advances in distributed computing and networks make it possible to link people, heterogeneous service providers and physically isolated services efficiently and cost-effectively. As the economic dynamics and the complexity of service operations continue to increase, it becomes a critical challenge to leverage information technology in achieving world-class quality and productivity in the production and delivery of physical goods and services. The IJSOI, a fully refereed journal, provides the primary forum for both academic and industry researchers and practitioners to propose and foster discussion on state-of-the-art research and development in the areas of service operations and the role of informatics towards improving their efficiency and competitiveness.
