Project Overview

• Project Name: IPv6 Global Routing
• Student: Shashwat Patni
• Mentors: Tommaso Pecorella and Manoj Kumar Rana
• Google page: Link
• Project Goals: The aim of this project is to extend the functionality of GlobalRouting to Ipv6, while maintaining minimal code duplication. Global Routing is based on the OSPFv2 routing protocol and uses the Djikstra Shortest path algorithm to compute paths for a single area network configuration. The problem is that GlobalRouting doesn't work for IPv6, and that's a huge limitation. The goal of the project is to fix that limitation. Deliverables include a working implementation of Ipv6GlobalRouting which handles different Address Types in Ipv6, while also maintaining Minimal Code Duplication.
