Abstract
Internet Protocol Version 6 (lPv6), the replacement for the current version of IP will be
deployed soon. A lot of new features have been implemented In this new protocol after
considering the drawback of ~he current protocol. This 128-bit IPv6 address is very
difficult to remember because of its hexadecimal representation and it is very long
compare to current IPv4 address. This rese'-a--rch is conducted to overcome this problem
by introducing the Host Name Resolution Protocol (HNRP) for IPv6 Addresses. HNRP
will map the IPv6 addresses with the host name and update it to the corresponding DNS.
User can use the host name instead of the IPv6 address because the host names are
sierto remember. Beside that, this new protocol will make the system administrator's
job much easier because the update of the host name into DNS will be done
automatically without much intervention from the administrator. This new research will
use the existing implementations that are neighbor discovery and ICMPv6 protocol and
requires no changes at a client site. HNRP will automatically get all the active IPv6
nodes on a link and update it into DNS. The protocol will also do periodic checking and update if there is any changes to an IPv6 node.
