IPv6 OSPF V3

OSPF v3

A: OSPFv3 uses link-local IPv6 addresses for neighbor discovery and establishment

Unlike IPv4 OSPF, OSPFv3 uses link-local IPv6 addresses for neighbor discovery. Some of the key fidifferences between

The key differences between the OSPFv3 and OSPFv2 protocols include:
• OSPFv3 expands on OSPFv2 to provide support for IPv6 routing prefixes and the larger size of IPv6 addresses.
• LSAs in OSPFv3 are expressed as prefix and prefix length instead of address and mask.
• The router ID and area ID are 32-bit numbers with no relationship to IPv6 addresses.
• OSPFv3 uses link-local IPv6 addresses for neighbor discovery and other features.
• OSPFv3 uses IPv6 for authentication.
• OSPFv3 redefines LSA types.
