Firewall
IPv6 provides enhanced identification and location information for computers on networks routing traffic across the Internet.
These hosts require firewall packet protection unique to IPv6 traffic, as IPv6 addresses are composed of eight groups of four
hexadecimal digits separated by colons. IPv6 hosts can configure themselves automatically when connected to an IPv6 network
using the neighbor discovery (ND) protocol via ICMPv6 router discovery messages. When first connected to a network, a host
sends a link-local router solicitation multicast request for its configuration parameters; routers respond to such a request with
a router advertisement packet that contains Internet layer configuration parameters.
