Where are IPv4 address to Layer 2 Ethernet address mappings maintained on a host computer? neighbor table ARP cache routing table MAC address table
ARP cache
Why is NAT not needed in IPv6? -Because IPv6 has integrated security, there is no need to hide the IPv6 addresses of internal networks. -Any host or user can get a public IPv6 network address because the number of available IPv6 addresses is extremely large. -The problems that are induced by NAT applications are solved because the IPv6 header improves packet handling by intermediate routers. -The end-to-end connectivity problems that are caused by NAT are solved because the number of routes increases with the number of nodes that are connected to the Internet.
-Any host or user can get a public IPv6 network address because the number of available IPv6 addresses is extremely large.
