Chapter 5. Analyzing Application Layer Protocols
In the previous chapter, we covered the SSL/TLS application layer protocol in detail. In this chapter, we will continue with other application layer protocols (their basic flows and some generic use cases) and learn how to generate these types of traffic:
- DHCPv6
- DHCv4
- DNS
- HTTP
DHCPv6
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) is an application layer protocol that provides a DHCPv6 client with IPv6 an address, and other configuration information, that is carried in the DHCPv6 options.
