#What Is My Ipv4 Address

[angellurgy2]

Pull The Trigger

your favourite freak's writing agaain! you ever wanted to read a story about a homophobic gamer boy getting doxxed and raped? well here u go! ^-^ part two coming soon

cw: noncon, forced gay, slurs, shit like that

sandstone brick, towering ahead. trapped in a corner, waiting, ak-47 comfortable in hand. listening, watching, pixel-perfect gaze. the soft pitter patter of booted footsteps approaching on sand. spin, shoot before you see. three shots of triple-round burst to centre mass. dead. 

multiple pings hit the wall ahead of him, pelted at while his back was turned. losing health rapidly. he flicks and sends his barrel spinning 180 in the opposite direction, blind trading fire. 

he screams into his bulky turtle beach headphones as the body in front of him ragdolls, screen blurring with bloody low health warnings. “YEAAAH FAGGOT, YOU LIKE THAT?”

he’s swiftly popped into the win screen, all chat and winner microphones switched on to offer a chance to flaunt or whine. 

[ALL] TriggerFinger: get GUD fags i’ll wipe u in the next one 2 lmao

[ALL] XxxGr1mR3eaperxxX: dude you suck u just got lucky

[ALL] TriggerFinger: i bet u kno a lot about sucking huh?

[ALL] TriggerFinger: just like your MOM

trigger clicks on to queue for the next game, a satisfied gleam plastering his face as everyone else is gone to the aether.

in the top left of his screen as loading screens trawl pops a message from an unfamiliar user. not on his friends list, rather it looks like they’re in the ‘recently played with’ section. probably just another noob coming to rage.

[PRIVATE] Anonymous-Specter: that was pretty rude, you know.

‘ThAt WaS pReTtY rUde-’ what a beta.

[PRIVATE] TriggerFinger: why shld i care? get a life faggot. lmao

[PRIVATE] Anonymous-Specter: you really shouldn’t talk to people like that.

this guy’s clearly got some form of retardation keeping him from getting the hint. but trigger’s got better shit to do. the loading screen for this game always takes so long. he grabs a pack of shrimp tempura cup ramen off the nearby shelf and fills it with day-old water from his water bottle, shoving it in the microwave for a couple minutes. he numbly trawls through social media feeds, doomscrolling the beautiful faces on instagram before that gets boring, then the stale porn on twitter, then the ragebait on 4chan. nothing satisfying his appetite except this one clip of some guy eating shit on his first try skateboarding, which too is ethereal in the drips of serotonin it gives.

ding!

he grabs his soppy steaming meal and brings it back over to his computer, stirring it with a stray fork before moving back into the screen. the first thing he sees is another message from the same person as before. he rolls his eye and opens the notification.

[PRIVATE] Anonymous-Specter: this you? 78.222.0.13

[PRIVATE] TriggerFinger: TF?? 

he thinks he’s so cool. trigger quickly tabs over to chrome, typing into the address bar ‘whats my ip ad-’ before it autofills. he clicks in, praying for the release of the little ball of stress slowing spreading in his chest. only to have it implode. IPv4… 78.222.0.13

ok. well, he’s probably just trying to scare you. theres not much you can do with a few numbers. he remembers the streamers he’s watched being ddos’ed and how freaked out they’d always get. he can’t find that humour in the angered horror on their faces now, though.

[PRIVATE] TriggerFinger: thats not my fuckin IP asshole. ur not funny

[PRIVATE] Anonymous-Specter: i think it’s pretty funny.

[PRIVATE] Anonymous-Specter: see you soon :)

trigger looks around his surroundings. nothing around, just the same open bland studio basement. mattress on the floor, check. couch, check. tv, check. tiny window that shows literally nothing but a foot of grass? check. its hard for him to hide the scowl of hatred at this empty rotting enclosure. shit, did you lock the door? he runs up and flicks it locked like how a child runs up the stairs when they’re scared a monsters behind them. not because of this ‘specter’ though. just normal precaution. he wouldn’t let another man take up space in his mind like that.

trigger sits. unable to pull his focus enough to start another game, or to divest himself entirely. stuck in a limbotic resting space. he grabs the monster can sitting on his desk - one of many - and pours it down his throat with anxious franticity. after staring at the screen for long enough, with nothing else he can see to do, he types.

[PRIVATE] TriggerFinger: What r u talking about? fuckin weirdo

10 minutes pass.

[PRIVATE] TriggerFinger: hello?

nothing at all. empty threats and childish games. who puts in that much effort just to cause a little scare? freak, probably a faggot too.

he sighs and switches over to spotify, plugging his favourite XXXtentacion album into his grindy bluetooth speaker and grabbing a pre-roll from his weed drawer. a rusted old lighter folds between his fingers. flick, flick. hot choking mist fills his mouth and then suffuses his screen as he blows it back into the stale air. he lies idly spinning in his gaming chair, puffing until its gone and until the words leave his head. empty.

but not for long, apparently.

a resoundingly loud knocking thuds at his door. earthquaking enough to shake him out of his seatlock. but the tremors remain, rocking through his veins. he gingerly lowers his eye to the peephole. a short man looks up from a foot away, holding some sort of black bag. this is it trigger, time to man up. he paces back with soft steps, pulling a steak knife from the block and holding it behind his back. no more games, this is real life. no more being harassed by that bitch landlord, no more bad looks when mom and dad visit. when the police find him beaten and you on top you won’t have to feel bad anymore.

he opens the door.

“Hello. uber for trig?”

he doesn’t remember ordering any food, was he really that faded?

“it’s… trigger. but that’s me, yeah.”

the man passes trigger an unlabelled brown bag from the bigger unlabelled black bag. something liquid seeps out of the corner.

“have a great night, sir!” 

trigger tosses the bag onto the table already scattered with trash. throwing the knife onto the counter along with it. being paranoid is the sign of a weak mind, you need energy. he thinks about the shrooms his bro gave him a couple weeks back, saved for a special occasion in a box under his bed. the devil and angel on his shoulders scream.

he examines the food. taco bell crunchwrap and spilled soda, amazing. he begins to clean it up right as a CLFBKGBNJ clanging from the kitchenette behind his back rings out. he turns to see a tall, muscley imposing man already towering over him from there. backing up slowly, like hes a blind animal that’ll pounce at any moment. 

“hey there.”

“hi???” his words spit out with a spiteful acidity, tantrumic. 

“you must be trigger.” his monotone face twists upwards into a cruel mockery of a smile. he examines trigger up and down, who shivers at being ogled like meat.

he hears his dad in his head. puff up your chest, faggot. you can’t let people walk over you like a little bitch all the time. he straightens his back, stops retreating. his voice mimics a tough deepness.

“you need to g-get the fuck out of my house.” 

specter tilts his head with curiosity. trigger can feel the aftershocks of monster and adrenaline crumpling his heart as he looks into the intruders eyes. a dark jade gazes back, blank. empty. like null space inside his skull, giving off only the aesthetic of a watching being. beyond the entrancing holes, partially hidden behind curtains of frayed brown locks, a jagged scar cuts through his face, curved and serrated with the impression of its assailant. 

“it’s not really your house though, is it?” 

trigger stares back dumbly. specter lifts up a chiseled arm and knocks on the roof, indicating where the landlord resides. “it’s theirs, really.” he takes a step forward.

“what’s your fucking problem man?”

another step back. guarding facade broken as quickly as it was put up. you’re weak. pathetic. he can smell it on you, just like they all can.

“here to give you an attitude adjustment.” he says it so monotone, like reading a script. as if you should know what that means. specter gives a wide scan of the interior. sizing up your crime scene? this won’t be going the way you think it will, buddy. “this is a pretty shit place you got here”

“not any more shit than the goon cave you probably got, bitch” 

the molded smile on specter’s face drops in a second. in 3 sudden steps forward he closes most of the gap between them, the air between the two grows cold. trigger has no choice but to back up more to keep the feeling of safety. the distance between handler and beast, but there’s no leash here. and there’s no medic to save him.

“listen.. s-specter? right?” he looks into those dead eyes with a quiver hes kept hidden for so long.  “i'm sorry i insulted you or- or whatever i didn’t mean it okay? that’s just online shit, this isn’t real.”

specter takes another wordless step, and trigger hits the wall. this isn’t real.

“why so quiet all of a sudden?” his hand reaches out and cups triggers chin, his face too frozen with animalistic chemicals to react. forcing trigger’s weak inebriated gaze to meet his, dead yet malevolent. “are you scared of me?”

trigger spits in his face. “you- couldn’t. scare me.”

untrimmed nails dig sharply into the base of his skull. “i will.”

“my dads the chief of police. you don’t wanna do this.” he tries to put on monotone the best he can, head as swirly with emotions as it is.

specter chortles. “no he’s not”

the music emanating from trigger’s desk scratches hard as it changes into a fast-paced track. specter’s eyes and ears twitch in its direction like a bat.

“this is what you listen to?” his smile almost looks genuine this time. he gestures at the ground below them. “stay here.”

he turns and moves to walk past trigger, when he jumps into action, leaping at the man with a guttural yell.  “AA-”

immediately cut off by searing blunt force ripping through his gut, sending him crumpling to the floor with the force of extraneous gravity. so you’re a warlock, subclassed into gravitational magic, is that it? he gets up onto his hands and knees, a trail of saliva connecting his lips to the dirty linoleum floors. he chokes on each breath he tries to take in. the pain is unlike anything his soft and unexplored body has experienced before. 

specter walks away to the booming speaker, pulling out a black rectangle from the pocket of the black jeans sticking to his legs.. the speakers switch to a new track, unfamiliar to his ears. some kind of aggressive rapping, underscored by a metallic sharp noise groove. he tries to listen for words, analyzing the rhythm and slotting it with memories of other songs to try and figure out what it is. but before he can comprehend the first words to come out, a rigid boot crashes into the side of his ribs.

dazed on the ground, heaving for the little pieces of air that’ll fit through his trachea, cartoons birds twirling over his head as he stares up into the ceiling. 

a sharp sound cuts through his stupor. “you’re funny” says specter, “i really thought you’d have more fight in you.”

PHWACK. the sound of some elastic material slapping against skin, a black glove clinging to specter’s boney hand.

trigger’s shocked by the feeling of cold on his bare stomach, face twisting with rage but the rest of the body betrays him with frozen fear. specter begins to slowly lift triggers shirt, feeling up his concave flesh with rubber digits.

specter flinches back as a red handprint manifests on his cheek. i wasnt even thinking i didnt mean to i just-

a vice grip takes hold of his windpipe, holding it hostage. the hand begins to rise upwards, holding him against a wall that wasnt there two seconds ago, and then he has to fight with his noodlish body to stand up before it rips his throat right out. “you’re so weak. how did you make it so long, bullying people like that?” his other hand then puts itself to use. the cold rises up triggers body slow and nerve-wracking. he tries not to feel it and to just keep his eyes on him. the tangible, hurtable, beast. 

his mind lags from his body, not realizing he’s on the ground before he already is. terrifyingly strong knees spreading his legs apart ever so slightly, invading hand-shaped ghosts pinning him into the dirty floor face-first. months of uncaring habitation coming back to bite him in the ass all at once. his eyes jump from little pieces of dust and crumbs, filling his vision more than their existence is intended for. brought low with the trash. maybe you should’ve listened to mom.

a bottle squirts loudly out of his sight. he tries to spin his head around but he’s just met with increased pressure on his neck, pinning him down like meat on a butcher’s table. fuck this. thrashing out with all the strength in his limbs- it forces specter to change up his positioning, but even then you can’t make a single scratch, slapping at this very real intruder like a whiney little girl. 

“stop it.” he says it like he’s talking to a petulant child, dry and tired.

“fuck you! get off me!” 

a rubbery object shoves itself down his throat as he opens his mouth to yell more obscenities. fingers ripping open his jaw, dispelling his pleas into inhuman garbling.  

“reht rre throo!” 

he looks around, there has to be something he can do. everything is dark blobs because of his eyes wetting from the fingers assault of his uvula. heavy whispers assault the back of his neck, venom in his blurred ears. “i could take out a tooth. how about that?”

he shakes his head, as much as he can crushed between these manly hands. 

water trickles down from the corners of his eyes. fuck, don’t let him see you crying, that’s the ultimate defeat. man card revoked. the only benefit of this positioning is that only the tile can see your face’s treason.

the hand abruptly leaves and moves back to the rest of his body. not preferable, but at least now his eyes will stop coating themselves in water. there has to be something on this floor somewhere if he can look. 

blood coats his vision. bloody floor, bloody nose, face shoved into a pool of it. he can feel his nose contort under the hard material, head bouncing off it with a loud crack.

‘look’, you shouldve known better. thousands of hours of experience watching torture scenes in COD, and you think he’s gonna give you a break? you’re not the shooter like you thought you were, you’re just the dead russian snitch. 

slender hands dip under the waistband of his sweatpants, threatening with slow dragging downwards. fuck, he is a fag. so much screaming in his head, be a man be strong fight back faggot stop being a fucking BETA. but the weak trembling in every inch of his nervous system won’t let go. the part that knows what you are. weak little soyboy. shit, was it the burger king? he looks at the softness of his tiny arms splayed out in front of him, thinking back to all those impossible whoppers he had during that first (and last) year of college. sure there were the conspiracies but- he had to lose some weight and it was right next to his dorm and surely a little bit of hormonal meat couldn’t hurt anyone. well, apparently not. he shudders at the thought of all those tiny little girl particles running around in his bloodstream.

coldcoldcoldcoldcold fuck. something cold and wet drips down his ass, sending rippling twitches through his body. something small pokes and prods, forcing the wet inside, already he feels speared through, he has to purposefully hold his face together to not burst into open sobbing. 

“shhh sh sh. it’s okay. you’ll take it.” 

it pulls out, a hot emptiness filling all feeling. another squirt, and more wetness shoved so deep he cant handle in the choking cries. “please. please don’t. i don’t- i’m not-” cut off by the finger pulling out again, leaving his hole gaped. “Fuck stop im not gay pleasepleasepleasepl”

a sweaty palm wraps over his mouth.

something warm and hard and fleshy begins to rub circles around his hole. pressing up so close his breath hitches in fear it might go in and then pulling back and then repeating.

“be a good boy and stay quiet, trig.”

pushing pushing pushing pushing pushing pushing

“HEEEEELPP WAIT PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE HELP NONONONONONONO STOPP#&$*%9

&$#%^#^%)#!($#$^%

##&% %%#(% %$$*$#&

*#$&$THELP

* * *

specters hard chest presses up close and warm against trigger’s back. hot, heavy breathing forces its way into his ear. they stay there for a moment, frozen in time. a breaking point cut, getting a cinematic view of his own ruination. what a shitty fucking movie this is. 

“mmhng-” specter pulls back, breaking the trance, almost making trigger wish he would’ve just stayed inside. he grunts at the feeling of trembling boyflesh seizing on his cock, shaking with each inch moved in either direction, clenching for dear life. he grips a handful of trigger’s hair and pulls it back, forcing his limp and drooling expression into specter’s vision.

 “so, what was it?” the burning rod of pressure starts to move faster, thrusting with detached force, muscular hips bouncing off trigger’s ass. “dad beat you?” another assault forward, enunciating each bit of words with the slapping of their flesh. “mom molest you?” it hurts sososososososososo bad but he cant feel anything other than the pain nothing but searing waves of some long-forbidden feeling. “or- fuck- you just get bullied too much in those squishy formative years?”

boiling hot rain streams down his face, terror burning his eyes blind. choking sobs spit out little bits of snot and saliva pooling with his tears below him in a sad filth soup. 

“oh c’mon-” specter reaches in closer, thoughtlessly pushing his cock into a switch that turns triggers legs to jelly. a waterfall of tears overlaid with shameful noises, the kind he’d before only ever heard through the speakers of a computer. each one abrading his will even more. he was supposed to be on the other side, not this. anything but this. 

“please stop”

“it’s too late.” his hand brushes triggers cheek, mimicking a comforting motion with uncomfortable skin, “you can never take back what’s already happened… and what’s about to.”

stranger things s4e6 the dive

the way i get *so* distracted when a computer comes on screen. computer-brain was already piqued when she's talking about ip addresses (both arpanet moved to tcp/ip and ipv4 started in 83, ok) and using it to determine the location (squint), and plain calling it the internet. was anyone saying internet yet in 1986? i don't know. data mining. geolocation software! (squint aggressively)

then i see this view and i was like, surely the ~1985 amiga was not using a cmd window and .bat files. that's msdos! but i don't know actually. so now i'm reading the amigados wikipedia page, have watched several people slowly boot 1.x versions of amiga workbench and someone who did briefly open a shell

oh my god this old amiga training video!

anyway confirmed it used forward slashes not back haha

then i'm like well. i wonder what programming language is back behind us here in that nina window. reading the comparison of programming languages syntax wikipedia page for semicolon terminated langs. ada???

so then i scroll back a bit earlier in the ep to see what else ended up on the screen and hello stdio.h in the comments lol

and then i try to go determine when stdio.h became a thing and oh my god STOP (unix version 7 1979???)

i do appreciate their effort. mostly.

[klint-vanzieks]

Hey, Klint! Welcome to the Internet. I have two questions for you, if that's alright?

1. Do you have any silly nicknames? I've seen your brother go by ziekkyboy.

2. I am DYING to know everything about how you hooked yourself up to the Internet from the afterlife. Can you please give me an explanation with as much technical details as possible? 🙏 I want every juicy little bit!

Miss Sara Nerdnag-

I am Lord Klint van Zieks, Crown Prosecutor of London in service to Her Royal Majesty the Queen. I expect you to know the correct form of address. There is no need to speak of what form of address the little... winged creature, or whatever it is, seems to think is acceptable.

As for the technology, now that I am more than happy to elaborate upon! London - and most of the British Empire - primarily has its communication facilitated fastest by telegraphy, specifically needle telegraphy. I trust you're already familiar with how it works. Tumblr itself is being managed out of one of the telegraphy companies, although I'm quite impressed that they were able to get connectivity in and out of Japan. I understand that they are using submarine cables, copper and electricity wrapped in rubber and latex.

The new Ministers of Foreign Affairs, it seems, have been busy. From what I understand, while telegraphy has been mostly handled by the various postal services, internet - and by extension, Tumblr - is a different matter altogether. The postal service is simple: you enclose who you are, your address, your message, the intended recipient, and their address into an envelope or telegram, and it makes its way to whom it is decided.

The internet, however, is much more complicated. Not only is there far more information that needs to be gathered and transmitted, it must be distributed in a much more widespread manner. What time you sent the message, what time the message is seen, to whom you wish it to be seen by, what your message is, your account information, and all sorts of other information.

This information, once enclosed in such a way that it is not intercepted and modified, must make its way back to the host network - in this case Tumblr - and redistributed to all others on the network, in a timely fashion. What, then, if your location changes? A message for Lady Mikotoba should reach her if she is in Japan or in England. It instead does not locate to her physical address, but to the virtual location of her Tumblr account.

Even so, it must be more complicated than that! It is not a matter of delivering messages in a timely fashion: any message I would send would not reach the recipient as soon as possible, but instead reaches them when they open Tumblr and ask to see what has been posted and sent to them in their absence.

Tumblr then must take all the information they have received, find out what of that information must be given to the user in question, and return it without anything being modified. How, then, can it be sure that it is you speaking to me, and not someone only claiming to be you? At a post office, they might get to know your face, and the faces of those you allow to speak in your stead.

It is my understanding that currently, we are using a protocol known as IPv4, to connect. So long as I am using the same IP address and the same account credentials, it can be trusted that I am myself. My own IP address, when I query my network credentials, is 192.168.10.5. I should not share my account credentials, obviously, but that IP address is the equivalent of my physical home address, only telling you as much as where I live.

So when my query for information reaches Tumblr, they know to send me the posts and messages and questions meant for me.

But I suppose that wasn't quite what you were asking. You asked how I might myself gain access to the internet, and to Tumblr, even though I am a ghost and have been deceased for a decade.

It was actually through the genius of several people, a very odd creature I had to explain to Balmung is off-limits to hunting, and the determination of the dead to speak to the living. While here in the West, the existence of the dead being in our own way sapient and sentient is a hotly debated topic, our good friends in the Far East have already settled this matter.

In fact, it was Detective Asogi who brought to me this information: he told tale once of a clan known as the Ayasato, shrine maidens turned spirit mediums and channelers, able to speak to the dead and bridge the gap of the veil. So, from there, it must be reasoned that should someone who is dead and someone who is alive wish greatly to speak with each other, it should be no more complicated than trying to speak to someone through a thick wall, with only a minuscule hole that transmits light but not sound.

If one side can reach a cable and push it through, they must indeed trust that the other side will reach back and pull it through. They must then trust that the other side will do their part, and they will both work to connect an agreed-upon device to both ends, and only pray that it might work.

The one who pens under the name of John Wilson should take most of the credit: all that was needed was someone soon to die, who understood enough of the device and its installation to recreate it on the other side of the veil, and connect it properly. If both sides configured the device correctly, it would be able to transmit and receive information, exactly like a needle telegraph from across the sea.

A person soon to die was easily found, if admittedly because of circumstances and factors I would rather wish not be the case. A man who escaped justice, already condemned to die at the hands of the Reaper, agreed that should he die, he would do what he could to recreate the device - a router, so named because it routes messages - on this side of the veil.

Fortunately for that particular man, we the dead are perfectly capable of taking notes on blueprints, and by the time the Reaper had his little joke, most of the router was already complete. What we needed, the reason why we couldn't fully configure our end alone, was a means of actually passing through the veil, transmitting messages from one router to another.

The man died holding the cable, and when he appeared to us in the clothes he died in, he was still holding it. We connected it, we configured the agreed-upon IPv4 address through static routing-information-protocol, we pinged the router we knew had been constructed in the daylight, and we watched it return our pings.

From there, it took us some time to expand upon our network. We could speak to one router through a static, established connection: it knew our IP address, and we knew its. We needed connectivity farther out, we needed a means of ensuring our messages did not break down in transit, we needed more power to keep our router functional.

We weren't truly able to communicate through more than Morse code, at first. On, off, on, off. And even that would get jumbled! There were delays that we couldn't predict, so parts of our messages would come through at incorrect times, making anagrams. We needed a method of securing our information in the correct order.

We found it through IPv4's packet structure, which also had to compensate for submarine cables, and through using RIP round-robin routing. So every time I go to query tumblr, it sends one packet out, waits for an acknowledgement, and then sends out the next. This has gone well to reduce failed connectivity, and that took us several months of troubleshooting.

Fortunately, our correspondent on the other side of the veil wasn't losing faith in us, even when it was hours between signals of activity. It was obvious we were communicating back, just having issues with consistency. Once we were able to get that far, we had to properly encrypt our messages, so that they wouldn't be altered in transit. Even if they were damaged, it would be possible to reverse-engineer them into a message that made sense.

Admittedly, we would have been here much sooner if encryption was not an issue, given that we could not exactly voice any concerns or discuss the final plans, but eventually we settled on AES 128, which was a nightmare to set up but did work out eventually.

Once we got that far, catastrophe struck, and our cables started to break. In a stroke of genius, our living correspondent hooked us up to a telephone signal, which transmitted our signals into audio instead of simple electric pulses, known as dialup technology. Then, it was only a matter of agreeing on a code, and creating a device that would translate what it heard into symbols.

This solved our issue of incomprehensible anagrams permanently: voices and audio came through consistently enough that it would stop colliding with other bits of information in the network passageways and cables.

Once that was solved, just a couple days ago, we were finally up in proper communication, and set to testing everything we could, and now here I am, with a Tumblr of my very own, and I can finally say hello to everyone!

Yours in delighted correspondence,

Prosecutor van Zieks

Master IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) Networking

As the world moves towards IPv6 to accommodate the ever-growing number of devices, one key protocol makes sure everything runs smoothly: IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP). This protocol is crucial for devices to find each other, configure their IP addresses, and ensure proper communication over an IPv6 network. In simpler terms, it’s like a “digital handshake,” allowing devices to talk and exchange important information seamlessly.

In this guide, we’ll break down the workings of NDP in a way that’s easy to understand, even for those new to networking. Whether you’re a network engineer, a student learning about IPv6, or simply someone curious about how your devices connect, this article will provide you with all the essential insights you need to master the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol and improve your understanding of IPv6 networks.

What Is IPv6 Neighbor Discovery?

Imagine you’ve just moved to a new neighborhood. You don’t know anyone yet and have no clue where the grocery store is or how to reach the nearest bus stop. Naturally, you’d walk around, introduce yourself, ask for directions, and gradually get familiar with your surroundings.

Choose platforms that align with your audience and goals. For more information on choosing the right platforms, check out this guide from Networkerden

Well, computers do something similar on an IPv6 network.

The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) helps devices

In simpler words, it’s the way devices on IPv6 networks say, “Hi, who are you?” and “Are we connected properly?”

In IPv4, we had something called ARP (Address Resolution Protocol). However, in IPv6, NDP is the new standard.

Key Features of NDP

Here’s what NDP does under the hood:

Each of these steps ensures devices can talk to each other smoothly and securely.

NDP Message Types

Let’s say you're new to a college campus. Here's how you might interact and how NDP mimics those interactions.

1. Router Solicitation (RS)

"Hey, is there any router out there?"

A new device (host) sends this message to discover local routers.

2. Router Advertisement (RA)

"Yes! I'm your router. Here are the network details."

Routers reply with necessary information like prefix, MTU, and default gateway.

3. Neighbor Solicitation (NS)

"Hey, I need your MAC address. Can you share it?"

Used to resolve the link-layer address of a neighbor or to check if a neighbor is reachable.

4. Neighbor Advertisement (NA)

"Here I am! Here's my MAC address."

Devices respond to NS messages, confirming they are active.

5. Redirect

"Hey, I’m not the best route. Use that other router instead."

Routers use this to guide hosts to better next-hop addresses.

Step-by-Step: How Devices Use NDP

Here’s a step-by-step example of what happens when your device connects to an IPv6 network:

What About Security?

NDP, by default, is a bit too trusting. That’s where SEND (Secure Neighbor Discovery) comes in, like installing a security camera on your network block.

SEND protects against:

It's not widely used everywhere yet, but it's available for high-security environments.

NDP vs. ARP: What's the Difference?

NDP is smarter, safer, and more flexible than ARP.

Why Should You Care?

Whether you’re a student, IT professional, or a curious tech enthusiast, knowing about IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol helps you understand how devices "talk" on modern networks.

And if you're setting up IPv6-enabled products, routers, or even enterprise networks, this knowledge is crucial. When your network behaves strangely, it's often due to misconfigured NDP settings.

Planning to buy an IPv6 router or firewall? Now you know exactly what features to look for. make sure it supports proper NDP handling and even SEND if needed.

Check out this list of top IPv6-capable routers for reliable options.

A Quick Anecdote: When NDP Saved the Day

Last year, an IT admin named Ravi was migrating a mid-size company's internal systems to IPv6. Everything seemed perfect — until random devices lost connectivity. After hours of debugging, it turned out that the Router Advertisement messages weren’t reaching all subnets.

A simple configuration of RA intervals and proper NDP multicast support fixed everything. The lesson? Never underestimate the power of protocol details!

FAQs About IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol

1. What is IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)?

NDP is a system that helps devices find each other on an IPv6 network, get their IP addresses, and make sure they can communicate properly. It’s like devices introducing themselves and checking if they are on the same network.

2. How Does Neighbor Discovery Work?

NDP sends messages between devices. First, a device looks for routers. Then, it gets information from them. Devices also ask each other for MAC addresses to communicate. NDP also checks if two devices have the same IP address to avoid conflicts.

3. What Are the Benefits of NDP in IPv6?

c

Yes! NDP can be secured with Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND), which uses encryption to prevent hackers from sending fake messages or intercepting communication.

(2024-10-20 image ©wallarm) What is my IP? When connected to the 4G network the page returns an IPv4 address and states, for me at least, IPv6 Not Detected. If I do the same when connected to my home WiFi I get a different IPv4 address; but still no IPv6 address.

Back in the early 1980's when IPv4 addresses were devised it was thought that th system of 4 blocks of numbers 0 to 255 would be enough for all computing devices. But this is not the case any more. The router at home has an IPv4 address, and all the computing devices have a local address, an address relative to the router address. If you wish to connect to an IP camera or a web site on your home network then you will use a port on the router, and set up the routing from the port to the device on your router manually. You need access to the router to do this.

Why am I saying all this on a mobile phone technology blog? Well the way my 4G phone connects to Vodafone is similar the way a home router works. A number of Vodafone have the same IPv4 address and Vodafone routes the data to the correct phone. This does mean I cannot run a camera or web server on the Vodafone network unless I persuade then to give me a unique static IPv4 address.

IPv6 came along a decade later when IPv4 addresses were running out. It is a testimate to our ingenuity to state the IPv4 still works in 2024. With 128bits IPv6 addresses can uniquely identify any device with a chip in it now and decades to come. Anyone who has smart devices at home could have say 60 devices connected to their home router, which would need 60 IPv6 addresses which is easy to obtain and so each device can have a unique IP number. Despite IPv6 being over 30 years old we still have not switched over. But if we did then mobile phone technology would be in a better place to have more and more devices connected to the network and addressable from anywhere, with no restrictions. This would open up mobile networks as a more direct competitor to land bases systems, allowing more applications.
