Homework #4

• Goal: Understanding IPv6 Socket Programming
• Write a "traceroute6" program. The output may look like the following:

  traceroute6 to www.twaren.net.tw (2001:e10:5c00:1::7) from 
  2001:e10:6840:20:20f:eaff:fe56:ea22, 64 hops max, 12 byte packets
   1  2001:e10:6840:20::1  2.460 ms  0.743 ms  0.825 ms
   2  2001:e10:6840:1::1  0.750 ms  0.524 ms  0.523 ms
   3  2001:e10:ffff:1a01::1  0.738 ms  0.532 ms  0.537 ms
   4  2001:e10:ffff:1f00::1  4.769 ms  4.710 ms  4.671 ms
   5  www.twaren.net  4.531 ms  4.566 ms  4.542 ms
      

• You may use Java or C language; you may develop your program on Windows XP or Linux or FreeBSD. Be sure to prepare a README file which explains to TAs how to compile and run your progam.
• (optional) It will be even better if there is an option for users to specify whether traceroute6 will run on ICMP/UDP/TCP.
• Send your homework to TA: ipv6-ta@ipv6.club.tw
